RE: The Meagre Monday – Sewing yarn-ends for wip challenge and life of a whiny artist

in NeedleWorkMonday3 years ago

Hrmph! Well, it has taken me two months to knit the cuffs on my latest pair of socks and now I am held up because I want to do a tubular cast off. I was wondering whether I have the cheek to do a wip post about a pair of socks that need a single cast off row done on them. 😂

I'm sorry your headaches are so troublesome, that is wearisome, although I think doing a horrible job when you are feeling horrible is quite a good idea. I think someone may have offered that as a time saving tip to the Saturday Savers Club last year. It was so novel, I hadn't come across it before.

I have just started a month's holiday, the whole of August. I am starting it with an early night as I have to get up very early tomorrow to put out unwanted furniture for collection by the council.

A wip is a wip in my view. And you clearly are describing very unruly and resistant last row on your socks. In my view this could be celebrated (if done) in a post.
And with the headaches... sigh, it was so bad that I stumbled into a research rabbit hole about medication and diet... and I am back out again no wiser than before as most studies contradict themselves or are not doable because of long time effects. I will think about it a bit more perhaps.
ANd the "combine horrible with horrible" was a natural for my grumpy self :-DDDD I never would have guessed this is used by other people too. But good to know I am not alone in this (I would wish you joy with this technique, but honestly it really does not spark joy 🤣)
OHHHH and holiday sounds so good!!!! I hope by know you are not sleep deprived (because of furniture) and already planning lovely things, like reading, painting, sewing etc….
I plan to also take some time of, kind of hive holiday, because I have two exhibitions in September and am behind because I have so many days on which I cannot work consistently - but this is no complain, because the second exhibition in Septmeber is amazing: I applied for an exhibition about the topic „art and myth“ and my Halien/Covid crime board/painting installation from last year got accepted. The exhibition will be in townmuseum Düsseldorf which is veryveryvery nice for me.
