Mm, different things to think about today:
One of my frustrations with the Travelling Books is the limited time to do something. I thought it would be an advantage to have a monthly prompt, but it turns out that I can't get into the flow, I'm constantly rushing, conscious of a time limit. Some of the prompts don't appeal, others I want to get deep within but there isn't the time to explore them. With knitting, although I am sure it is true with every creative practice, there has to be so many experiements, will this work, how will this turn out, and knitting takes time.
On the other hand, they say that inspiration turns up when you keep practising, when you turn up every day.
So I don't know.
I guess we will both find our way 🙂

One the biggest challenges for me is "what's the point?". I think I said back in the beginning I just wanted to show up and see what got created. However, mostly what gets created is just more of the same and it's starting to feel a bit dull.
Some days were really fun when something unexpected turned up but mostly it's a bit same old same old. But maybe there's a lesson in that. As a reflectino of life that's pretty much how it works. Some days the unexpected happens and I feel energised and my curiosity is piqued. But mostly it's fairly predicatable and familiar.
Maybe peace lies in seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. That's not something that can just be conjured up though.
At least I don't have the challenge of time like you do with your knitting. I can just whack something out, if I so desire, and be done.
