A Cleansing Knit

I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but somewhere in between selling hand knits and creating designs for knitting patterns, my favorite hobby started to feel a little like work at times.  Don't get me wrong, I don't love knitting any less than I did two years ago, but sometimes with baby and career taking most of my time, knitting for fun seems to be at the bottom of my priority list.


I guess sometimes the things we 'must' do get in the way of the things we'd like to do.

Enter Gramps Slouch.  I first fell in love with this hat pattern a few months ago when I added it to my Ravelry Roundup.   



Perfect pattern + perfect yarn + a week of vacation =  refreshing knitting

ps... I've been trying to figure out photoshop a bit (I've had it for a couple years and done nothing with it- it's so intimidating).  I think I'm starting to get it because in this last picture, I actually made wrinkles disappear from my face- (hey, at least I'm honest about it)!

What about you- anything you can put off until tomorrow?  It may be time for a well-deserved cleansing knit.
