Fearless Creating

This last weekend Michael and I wen to the SPCA book sale.. we met Kelly

( this is an annual outing for us !)

and found lots of books to add to our collection ..

I believe that books are a good investment ..

they don't go bad..and they have a life  past when you read them ..buy sharing with friends ..

or usually donating back to the SPCA....

I look for unusual reference books ..

I have acquired some nifty books of musicals, play writing, and art..

besides my cache of murder mystery books ....

in the assortment this time was a book called fearless creating ....

I love this kind of self empowering creative affirmation book ....

but mind you I just got it and haven't "read" it ..

just gave a skim....

I like the idea of not being afraid to be creative and not fearing mistakes ...

I have a whole bunch of items that I have started ..

and then just realised they they weren't working  the wrong hook ..

or needle..or the yarn just didn't looks right ..

usually they are frogged ( rip it..rip it ) ..

I took some photos of my WIPS..

that are just not working and are going to be undone ....

i think ...

I am pretty fearless in tying the wrong yarn ..

just to see how it looks ..but I like to give a project a chance ...

see if it come to life or grows on me

this pink yarn is really pretty and soft ..and I though that the pattern was fun ...

but this is just not working for me and it will be frogged ..but frogging mohair is a lesson in patience ..

this brown yarn has been tried in 3 other things ..

its so pretty but it just hasn't been right ..

and it kinda smells antiseptic ....

the rest of my kool aid dyed lace weight was going into this one ..

but it was testing my patience ..

and I have other yarn that I want to play with!

this teal project is super pretty ..

but the yarn is a pain to work with and this scarf is 3/4 done ..

i just need to buck up and work to the end..

but i do have 2 finished works that truly make up for my last of posting new things ..

OK this photo is not the best but it shows the color

this is a slightly fuzzy sparkly soft yarn ....

fun to look at ..a real pain to work with ..

but it made a pretty shawlette ..

and My new thing it has a half a row left..and blocking ..

( it will be "done " tonight)

I splurged and bought the yarn full price and it is sooooooooooooo pretty ......

It really was a silly project that took me a few weeks

( this yarn was bought on the art day with Alex and Elizabeth )....

This by far was the most ongoing  project for me ..

the lace weight take a bit longer and then the blocking ..

but I think it was worth it!

but It frees me up to work on some smaller projects !
