I see you Friday.
Hello Friday. I see you.
And I’ve knit a whole round since Wednesday.
Which, when each round is 1000+ stitches, isn’t as measly as it feels to say (well, type.)
I’m still looking for some sort of (non sucky) Friday “ritual.”
I’d love to hear any thoughts or ideas.
But I’d rather not have shoulds. ie. “you should…”
Oh! Hello hello Friday.
Hello, hello, Friday. You are mighty sneaky.
It’s been how many weeks of missed FO Fridays? Fridays. They are sneaky, sneaky. So I’m looking for a new way to notice and mark Fridays.
I really like the idea of FO Friday, but it’s not quite sitting right anymore. It feels forced and awkward.
I just don’t work on projects that can be finished in a week. Then I don’t have an FO to show one Friday, so I take that Friday off, and then I feel a little bad. Then one Friday becomes a string of Fridays, and I feel guilty. ick
THEN when I do finish something, I want to show you! And I don’t want to wait till the next Friday. But I feel like I should. More guilt. more ick
I still want to talk about and show you finished objects. And I absolutely will! (Because I love it.) Just not necessarily on a Friday, and most definitely not every Friday.
So I’m looking for a new way of acknowledging Fridays.
Qualities I want in this new marking of Friday:
ease, simplicity, elegance, spaciousness, flexibility.
A combination-type-thing of Havi’s Friday Chickening, Tara’s Adventures, WIP Wednesdays/FO Fridays, and me.
With some elegant simplicity please.
I’m not sure what form this new “noticing Friday” could take. Or what exactly it’ll look like.
But I’m open to ideas. And I’m willing to play and adjust until it feels right. Comfortable.
The Comments:
I’d love to hear thoughts, ideas, stories, about marking time, or noticing time.
I’d rather not have “shoulds.”
Administraaavia! Shawls and Moves
Administraaavia!- the administrative bits and pieces. Except exaggerated, with a silly hat and a feather boa. Which makes it not so boring.
thing 1: Lapidarius
Lapidarius now available through the Verdant Gryphon! YAY!
Grab the pattern, pick up some yarn, and have fun knitting.
Thing 2: Website move
Well, I’m aiming for more of a meander or a shift, than a MOVE. Because I’m kind of over moving for awhile (4 moves in 8 months will do that to you). So it’s a website shift from hollychayes.wordpress.com to just hollychayes.com.
The old site should be redirecting to seamlessly to the new one, but if you run into any dead ends or stuckness, let me know.
Thing 3: this week’s shawl geometry Post
Because of the website move shift there are a bunch of people subscribed to the old blog, who aren’t currently subscribed to the new one. It takes a bit of time to move shift their subscriptions from the old site to the new site.
So I’m holding off on this week’s Shawl Geometry post for a couple days, until this shift happens so that it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.
ALSO I cast on a new shawl last night, that 1. isn’t my pattern (yay!) 2. is going really fast! (double yay!) and 3. is beautiful, simple and puuurty (yay! yay! yay!). All of which means that Wednesday will have knitting! (capslock YAY!)
