Saturday I woke from a gorgeous dream.  Kel and I were at a huge renaissance faire in Tassie and, wandering through the wonders of the merchants' area looking at all the incredible artistry and talking with the good folk selling it, Kel and I came to the conclusion that I should only work part-time as a therapist so that we would have long weekends

Beautiful dreams, that.

Mindful Knitting: Inviting Contemplative Practice to the Craft.

I'm sorry I don't say much... my online presence has been next-to-nil for most of this year.

[autumnalmonk]

Thank you! And there's no need to apologize- I am thankful for the words that you gift me with.

Mindful Knitting? Yummmm.... Is this a book title?

[sarinda]

Oops! That's what happens when I post while distracted by lunch....
it should have been a direct link to the title on Amazon.com.
It is, indeed, a book title.

Wow! That sounds like a wonderful book. I've ordered it. Thank you, thank you!!!

Knitting is so a meditative process! It has moments of enlightment sort of like opening the inner eye. I always catch myself trancing out of reality.

I am glad I have someone to talk knitting with!
I have one sleeve left of my baby sweater and then I am going to finish my cropped faery sweater! It is made from the yarn that reminds me of moss and is almost exactly the same color as moss and o so soft it is! It will be gorgeous and I hope that I can actually be able to wear it with my fae wings! O how lovely indeed!

On Sarinda's advice, I've ordered a book (Mindful Knitting: Inviting Contemplative Practice to the Craft) that discusses knitting from a Buddhist meditator's perspective along with various patterns. I can't wait to get it!

I'd love to have someone to chat knitting and share knitty resources with! Feel free to email me if you'd rather exchange privately rather than here on LJ.

That mossy yarn sounds scruptious! The scarf I made was done in a slightly fuzzy yarn with chunky bits in it, all in autumy colors of greens, reds, and golds. It's almost magickal how the colors and textures of the yarn knit together to form such wonderful patterns...

This was your latest entry?

I joined that deviant site just to find a way to befriend her and am thinking that I have a few formal-ish dresses that might fit her... you know that wierd maternal thing I do, right? Ask Angel. OK, just had to gush my congrats, you deserve such happiness, forgetting all else! so there... or something... *Grin*

She is indeed an awesome artist- I am in awe of her work. And of course I think she is the most gorgeous woman on the planet. *grin* Thanks for the congrats...
