I got fussed at, again, this week about not taking care of myself. About always giving and not receiving. Well, this one is for me. I am making myself a cardigan, top down crochet. I am spinning all the yarn I am using on the smallest drop spindle I have. I know this is the slowest way to make yarn but it is very meditative. I also find the drop spinning helps my spinning on the wheel. I work on this sweater at work because I work on the sweater I am making for my Beloved at home.
I am thinking about making my own wooden buttons for this. The yarn really deserves something that special. Or maybe I will be able to find some hand carved horn or bone. This sweater may really be too warm to wear here except maybe three times a year or in the office.
The process is making me smile.
