Knitting for me is pleasure, not work

@brittarnhild

I had a kind of progress plan for my Gotland cardigan for our 5 days at the cabin, and if I followed the plan I knew I would be all done by the time we were ready to drive back home. Already on Sunday my plan failed, something I wrote about a couple of days ago. But I did not despair. One extra day, no problem!

Yesterday, Monday, I followed my day plan, well, actually the Sunday plan, and after breakfast this morning I sat out on the terrace with the cardigan in my lap, knitting happily. But then the birds were singing. I listened, I found my binoculars and my camera, I listened a little more. And then a beautiful bee had her breakfast in the flowerbed just in front of me. And one more bee. And one more.

And I started to look at the wild flowers. I love wild flowers. I photograph them, and use the hashtag #brittarnhildsflora2019 on instagram to easily go back to them.

The sun was up and all the wool in my lap felt warm. Soon too warm.

 

.......and in the end I told myself that my plan did not matter. Knitting is meant to be fun. Knitting is not something I have to do. Knitting is something I love and I plan to continue this lifelong fun :-)

 

The Gotland cardigan will be finished.......some day.

Plans can be broken.. It definitely will get done one day. Maybe in the winter months. When nature doesn't distract you.
