When I was reading other people blogs I was surprised how often it happens: At first there are regular postings, then they become not so often, then there are really big gaps in time and then unfortunately some of them disappear from active community all together. And I was hoping it will never be the case with my blog. And then - life happened. I did not stop to do my craft, I did not stop follow other people work, I just did not have an energy to sit and write about mine.Let me put it this way - it was not easiest year of my life. At one point I was thinking of the old joke -when pessimist is saying that it cannot be worse anymore, and optimist replying - yes, it can, yes, it can. And it was, each day something was not right, something will happen, and you need to deal with one more issue when you not finish with prior ten or so.And at the time like this, I do not know what would I do without my relatives and friends who offer support and friendly shoulder to cry on. And would I do without ability to get busy with some craft - to take my mind out of problems.And it turned out fine. Issues get solved one at the time, things get better one day at the time, projects got completed one after another. Ans I am back to this journal - I need to write - even if nobody will read, I need to put pictures - even if nobody will look.At the time of the stress it is very helpful to grab some soft yarn in nice color and do very easy stitch - no counting and pattern required. Knit one row, purl one row, repeat... Adding several rows of moss stitch at both ends of the scarf is optional.
