Onward and Upward



Today's topic for Knit & Crochet Blog
week is new skills: anything new we want to learn.







Not to sound like a stick-in-the-mud, as in, I know what I like and I like what I know, at the moment there are no new skills vis-a-vis knitting that I want to learn urgently. The idea of knitting socks is nudging at me ever so gently in the darker recesses of my mind, but I have seen what happens to people once that particular obsession is unchained - and just let me tell you, it isn't pretty.

Instead, what I want to do is get better at what I already do - to refine and hone my skills, if you will. I have found already that my patience has increased with exercise; certainly self-discipline has - I do finish what I start even if I don't like it overmuch; the only exception being DH's Sweater of Doom (posted about here) ...



Where I lack discipline is over my curiosity:
the amount of time I spend looking at people's
blogs, and Ravelry, I ought to spend actually
knitting. I could have covered the Forth
Bridge by now.





So there it is. I guess my aims are like the Olympic motto: swifter, higher, stronger .....
