I have not been posting the weekly topics for our Defeat The Winter Doldrums swap. I know, bad girl, very bad. Well here is #4 weekly topic question:
Weekly Topic #4
" Defeat the Winter Doldrums" for some of us we get the doldrums and others don't. For the ones who get doldrums what helps you get rid of them? For the ones who don't get the doldrums, what helps you keep them away?
I usually don't get the doldrums. Really, I'm not bragging or anything, it's just the way I am. I guess you can say it's the way I am wired and yes, sometimes it does seem like I am wired, but that is just me. So I think keeping the doldrums away is just a state of mind. It's all in your attitude. I figure if I am always smiling, what can possibly bring me down and believe me my life is not all fun and games. Although, that would be nice. So keep positive, drink your coffee and go sit and knit. What could be better than that in any weather.
Here is a picture of some of my cloths and yarns and such for when I knit my cloths. I have to say that I would knit with peaches and cream or sugar and cream cotton all of the time, but since using different brands of cotton, I just can't go back to knitting with that stuff. I like the end result of mercerized cotton, I have been knitting alot with that lately. I also have some cotton that was gifted to me from some of my previous swap partners. I started a new cloth the other night with peaches and cream, but I ripped it out. I hated working with it and how it was coming. I picked up some Plymouth Yarns mercerized cotton on sale the other day for 50% off!! I bought 2 skeins of black. That is the chinese waves cloth that I am making now and I love the result.
Until next time: Knit-Laugh-Enjoy
