Blind Hope is Magic - Haiku

 


Blind hope is magic
I won’t be stuck forever
Deep breath, persevere

Blind hope is my best weapon in surviving trauma and the depression episodes. During depression, I’m unable to envision experiencing joy once more. The blind faith takes away my fear of never escaping that black hole. If I am patient with myself, this trick works every time. 

Photo is of a quick mixed media piece. I recommend mixed media art as a fantastic way to create little messages to yourself that you can put up on your mirror or fridge. As a reminder to show yourself compassion.  Or to provide yourself positive encouragement.

    I love this piece and the message contained therein. Depression is definitely hard to see a brighter future through. Messages like these are awesome.

Drops Scarf Knit Pattern

Simple pattern for even beginner knitters. It wouldn't be your very first project but could be when you are ready to learn about dropping yarn overs. It is that easy. Drops Scarf knit pattern is a wonderful way to put together novelty yarn you have sitting around along with other yarn, one you might not have considered pairing with it previously. For example, you can pair a mohair yarn with a flag novelty yarn. I have worked this project with many different types of yarn pairings. For this project, I paired Pima cotton with Trellis, a lacy ribbon yarn. Below is a photo of the beginning of the latest project with this pattern. The name "Drops" comes from dropping the yarn overs and the way the yarn is dropping down, like streaming rain drops. Hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Or you can find me on Ravelry , my handle is  AstroGirlBunny . Yarns: Yarn A is Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima in Mushroom (200 yards). Yarn B is Lion Brand T...
