Having Given In

Having given in to my night-owl-ish-ness, my bedtimes many nights flutter around 1:30 or 2 AM, and my rising (for the second time, having had to get up and give Maddie her food and injection around 7) moves to 11:30 AM or Noon.  My biggest energy push comes around 8 PM, meaning when I hit pause in whatever I'm doing, it's almost always after Midnight.  And that's why I haven't posted in a few days: if I'm up into the next day, writing about the previous day seems disingenuous

I've been collaging, mostly bookmarks.  I have had an awakening with regard to myself and this chosen art form.  I don't like to cover stuff up.  If I've cut something out or saved something to use potentially, it's because I like it.  Covering it up seems such a waste.  This, as you can imagine, is not a helpful trait for someone trying to create collages.  As Big Sister Twinnie reminds me: layer, layer, layer.

Knitting-wise, I've begun a Wingspan.  It's my third or fourth one, I think.  An easy knit, but with striking results.  Making it with Willow Yarns Everest in Clematis:

We all know how often yarns don't photograph well.  This is actually much, much pinker than is showing here, and it continues my run with purples this year.
