The comfortable side of enlightenment...

...I like that....Although there has been little enlightenment here today...

I have been working, which as much as it pays the mortgage and keeps me off the streets, does not allow much time for my current project of bringing something to the EV table, so to speak.

I have a wealth of ideas but am currently lacking the courage to go forth with them. Which seems to be a common theme at the moment. We discussed writers block in the discussion boards for EV of Facebook, but what about when your knitting mojo has run off?

There are shreds of ideas running around my brain at a fair old pace, but they seem to be spending a bit too much time just running but not really looking where they are going...Most of them have just flown out of my right ear during the course of my hectic day.

Although having said that, I have spent a fair amount of the early evening on http://www.ravelry.com/tour/peek today looking at fairisle patterns - if we are going to do anything, it will have to be a riot of colour, uplifting and darn right complicated to knit!

On that happy note, I will leave you. I need to think of a way to get my mojo back! (stash fondling has not worked!)

Existentialism and knitting

Yes, a truly magical combination if ever I heard one... Don't ask me how this came about, it would take an age to explain, but it basically involves an evil twin, a Dr and my knitting... What a mix up!

Mittens have been mentioned as have hats, I am not sure what the existentialist view is on these, but they are thoroughly intertwined in this whole project.

I have to admit that I want to throw a bit of nihilism in - based on my Buddhist leanings - but I am not sure how you can get existential mittens, never mind nihilist ones - surely they don't exist?

Anyhoo if you are intrigued then you need to check out the original and still the best existential vacation blog, or find us on Facebook
