Weekend ritual:
1) Knitting (pic)
2) Listening (Blueprint for Armaggedon I)
3) Thinking (Is the current US administration intentionally creating realignment of allies similar to what happened prior to WWI? As in, do we have our own Kaiser Wilhelm(s)? If true, what does the new alignment look like?)

3) Thinking (How much is the current state of affairs the result of fear? How rational is that fear? What "intellectual contagions" are we experiencing?)

I actually finished a thing! Hand pieced + quilted pillow sham using leftovers from last Christmas' quilt project. I love the feel of handmade 100% cotton. It's so *present* ... I can feel the weight of the hours and attention spent ... it holds a little bit of magic.

I think it's in the zeitgeist? I've been reincorporating analog into my life ... holding something in hand just hits different.

My crafting stash is absurd. Working through it and feeling accomplished? My need for novelty makes it hard to finish things ... each different color/texture = brainfire > wanting to start something new. But seeing it a pile like this 😍. So. Satisfying.

Scarves - they are kind of brainless, knit quickly, and when you are done you are DONE! I made up this pattern for a long, diagonal stitched & bobbled model ... I might write it down because I think it turned out cute.

Dopamine hits:
1) Yarn color change
2) Repetitive pattern
3) Consistent gauge
4) Tapered, symmetrical shape
Makes my brain so freaking happy.

Deep, contented sigh after a couple of weeks being too engaged. I'm sure I'll fall back into the engagement trap again, but for today this feels nice.
