So it’s just an idea, but I think it’s a good one.
I want to start a blog, and right now, I just want it to be about knitting because that is my obsession at this moment. My hobbies tend to change every now and then. Some hobbies stick, and some don’t, but I do get a lot of joy out of all of them. Knitting does feel like a hobby that is going to stay with me for a while, if not forever. I want to create a space for myself to share my projects and thoughts because that is what I am missing right now — a place to share how frustrating yet fulfilling a project can feel and how proud I am to have finished it.
I also want to make a little archive of my thoughts and projects because I love organizing stuff. I feel like I get to a better mental space when I can see everything that is going on. This takes me to my current obsession: knitting. The last few weeks have been super stressful and not fun for me. School was busy, and the pressure of getting a passing grade is just the worst. Knitting gave me a time out for those feelings, which was surprising to me. I started crocheting a year ago and picked up knitting at the end of January of this year and found that they make me feel very different. Crocheting is more of a creative outlet and full of fun, quick projects that I mostly gift to the people around me. Knitting feels very relaxing to me, not as creative (yet) as crocheting, but it feels more grounded. Working on a planned-out project with specific yarn that I chose and it taking more than a weekend? Repetitive movements and patterns that make me not think about good grades or work-related drama? Everything that I need right now.
I get so excited just thinking about building a lasting wardrobe with pieces that I have created. There are many patterns on my wish list, but I am going to try to be good and only make one ‘big’ project at a time — one big project and one small project. Seems like a plan.
Just warning you right now, this blog is going to be a mess. Consistency and routine are not my strong points (working on it), and this is just for fun, so I don’t want to pressure myself to upload. Oh, and you should probably know some basic information about me. My name is Laura, I live in The Netherlands, and I am a bachelor’s student that also works in customer service 😊
So, if you feel like reading more posts like this one? Feel free to browse around.
