You are not a rat. You are not in any race. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of this fact. Are you so focused on the end goal, that you’re missing the fun of the journey? Slow down and try to enjoy the ride. The ride is all there is, so don’t let life pass you by.
I designed this pattern for rediscovering the slowness of breath. The idea of using roses across the instep and the sole, records the nuances of life. Extensively planned yet simply written. Listen to your inner voice. You have the power to make a difference. Knitting is an ancient art. It has exalted status. But let us remember it also includes music. Knitting and the musical sound of the needles are always wedded. They co-exist in essence and in substance. Nature and all its aspects, woven into the cycle of creation of original knitting patterns continue to dance while being sustained by music. It’s hard to beat the beauty of a well-crafted knitted article. Immerse yourself in this art forgetting all else. This in today’s world is a luxury. It’s magical and truly interesting. To watch the creative process unfurl. After the skeins are wound into balls of yarn, and the patterns emerge on your needles. It has aesthetic appeal. This is an endeavour of great subtlety. I am happy to share it to encourage our learning experience. The Winter Roses Chart was made very kindly for me, by M. Ferramosca.
