Creative?
I'm not so sure.
I don't know if following a pattern to the letter is creative. Knitting when it says to knit or purl, or yarn over, or knit two stitches together.
I have questioned the creativity in long rows of knit and purl before. This pattern is a bit different to that one though. This pattern never lets me relax for a minute. This pattern has a complicated sequence called deep waffle stitch at the start and end of each row. Just enough to keep me interested.
This pattern also has darts in the waist. A little bit more interest.
I guess I did choose the three grey speckled skeins of yarn I am creating a garment from.
Meditative? Yes!
Soothing?? Yes!
Grateful for a craft that occupies my hands? Oh yeah!
Thinking of those in cyclones, flood, snow and fire affected areas.
Of course, I'm not forgetting those in areas of political unrest either.
I hope your Thursday has a little bit of creativity in it.
