After my emotional crappiness in the early hours of the morning, I wanted to share something positive, something that made me feel good about myself, that made me feel not-crap.
I spent the morning knitting. Literally 8.20am-1pm I was knitting like a… well, something that knits really intensely. The end result was a Milo for my cousin’s baby due in February. More specifically, it is a Milo that included a little freestyling! Yeap. Me. The person who must follow a pattern, who must follow a recipe, who must do something exactly how she is told to… I freestyled.
Okay, so I didn’t freestyle a hell of a lot, in fact, it was only one row that was different from the pattern… but I love that it worked! I did a row of eyelets so I could lace through some ribbon to be tied in a bow at the front. Being that I haven’t had babies for a long time now, it may turn out that ribbon is a pure and simple pain in the ass with a baby, in which case I am sure my cousin will use her brain and remove the ribbon!
Was nice to do something that left me feeling accomplished today.
