Sewing is one that's higher on my priority list because I already know some basics. I want to do it because it will help me to be more sustainable and will also allow me to create some products for my shop that I have in mind.

I needed something to relax me and give me something to focus on. When I used to have a sewing machine and attempted making stuff I found that frustrating and boring. Hopefully I can give that another try sometime in the future. I want to make my own clothes.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125093150749941236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-14744134097922782512013-05-26T07:20:41.595-06:002013-05-26T07:20:41.595-06:00I had not created anything in a long time.

I was worried I would hate it and just give up on the whole knitting journey. Seems I love it though. I really can't wait to try something harder. Since I have backed away from social media and the blog I had time to knit. :) YAY! <br /><br />Years ago I had a sewing machine and was horrible at making anything with it. Since then I've always said that I hate sewing. I hope to also give that a try again in the future. Hell, I've changed so much that it's not fair to just assume that I would still hate it. I would love to make my own dresses using the vintage dress patterns you see at the thrift stores. Maybe that can be a goal for next year? ;) hahaJessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125093150749941236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-10539472313256845912013-05-26T07:12:59.604-06:002013-05-26T07:12:59.604-06:00Check out the videos!

I'm still just learning the basics too and the language and it will take me some time before I finish anything because I've pushed knitting down on my priorities for now but I can't wait until I finish the things I'm working on creating so that I can finally knit a complete item. <br /><br />I just love the beauty of creating. I find the process of creating in general (be it knitting, writing a story, starting a shop) is so peaceful, calming and invigorating.
