le jaded
i am feeling very jaded about my knitting lately. the endless stream of finished object photos on my ravelry has made start feeling sort of smug and dismissive, especially the ones where the poses are sort of studied-casual. like -- "check me out in my handspun handknit socks, just chilling in my ridiculously scenic backwilderness. i just do this every day!"
my mom has this mug that my brother got in middle school that says, "lassiter middle -- special people doing special things." whenever i see when something that is so obnoxiously just-so that mug always comes to mind. but then the next day i am over le jaded and the knit porn lures me again.
i'm not really in a bad mood or anything, i just feel strange. mother's day was a mixed bag. i'm in between creative projects. not a lot of pressing work in the garden at the moment other than weeding. i take my big european vacation in two weeks. james and i are in talks again, and they're proving fruitful, but it's sort of personally draining. mostly, i could just use some uninterrupted sleep.
