Imposter Syndrome

I know it's not all true I know that in between the lines of every perfect post Lie hours of stress, And tears And too much coffee. I know they all have doubts Poison in their minds Just like me. But they have (And I dont) Perfect posts. Their feed is carefully cultivated Showing only the best bits While my camera hands shake Taking blurry photos of work that seems to me subpar, Less than theirs. I tell myself They started somewhere I must, too. But my somewhere start Seems So Small When all I can see is where they are now. CN 2020

You guys... I finally tried dyeing yarn. Holy crap. I enjoyed the whole process so much! I just used basic materials, and very much winged it after reading several how-to's, but it was so fun and I am so damn pleased with the results! . @knitpatons #patonsclassicwool #sugarncreamyarn @ritdye #ritdye #cottonyarn #cotton #woolyarn #wool #yarn #yarndyeing #imadethis #somethingnew https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsOAXlDAOR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zvzkvima1nf2

Feeling very lost lately. I know what I want to do, where I want to be, but I just can't seem to make myself get there. These little flowers were all over the hills today, just tiny pops of purple in rolling waves of brightest green. . . . #naturesmagic #mothernature #walkinthehills #solvitureambulando #walkingfixeseverything (at Rockville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcgGKPFpKt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gkln87wz72b3

This has been sitting nearly finished since October.. the event I had planned to wear it for was canceled and my brain just wouldn't let me finish it. Today, though, I looked at it and just.. did it. It is almost dry now. .

Well, apparently I was wrapping my yarn wrong so my knit stitches are all twisted 😂 a good friend helped me fix it and now look at all my cute little v's 😍 This is just a practice piece so I can build muscle memory before tackling the project I REALLY want to make 😁😁 . . . #knitting #knit #practicemakespermanent #knitknitknit #lionbrandyarn #vannawhite #vannaschoice #pink #red #stripes #somethingnew https://www.instagram.com/p/Btljm2Llp8N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7wjssbnqrt3o

One of my goals for this year is to get better at knitting and to actually make a thing. Well, heres my little gauge swatch for a project I am planning! A dear friend gifted me some lovely squishy fingering/sock weight yarn, and also was kind enough to give me a refresher course on knitting. 😁😁 . . . #knitting #yarn #gaugeswatch #somethingnew #bistitchual https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXO1VbFCSk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w7a8t8c6f06f

What do you do with scraps? One of my ongoing projects is this gloriously awful scrap blanket, made of all the bits of cotton yarn left over from other projects. Every row is a new color, with only 2 rules: don't put two rows of the same color next to each other, and don't put two multicolored rows next to each other. Does that make sense?😅 . .
