Swatching it!

Well, well, well...look who is swatching!  The plan (here goes...) is to knit my grand daughter a sweater.  This will be my first knitted sweater. 

Static, Tipple, and Crescent Moon....Day One

Phuck the details so I'll sum it up by stating this year my inclinations to create got bull dozed right out of me.  Since early Spring of this year I've not made much...not even crochet.  About a month ago I forced myself to pick up a Shrug I started over the summer.  I completed it.  Last week I knitted one row or Moriah's poncho and I was worn out afterwards. Yesterday I practiced some crochet stitches by making swatches and then I pinned them into an old art journal.  Making the stitches stilled me but tired my arm out.  When I stopped I wanted to do something more.  I chose Zentangling.  It felt risky yet safe and unimportant and that felt good. My hand isn't as steady as it was back when I was drawing the faces. Life has felt heavy and everything so damn critical this year.  I'm aiming for 30 days of zentangles.  The title of this post identifies the name of the patterns used to created this one.
