Here is my hand. I took photos so I'd be able to remember later and because I just love hands. Hands are sacred.
It's nice to learn something new. I am starting to get the hang or hook of crochet. I went to my second class yesterday and it wasn't nearly as difficult as that first week. My goal this week is to make a dish cloth. What I love about learning this new thing is the absolute freedom I feel while doing it. I'm not learning it very quickly in fact I feel a bit dense and inept with it but what feels so free to me is that I don't have to impress anyone. I feel no pressure to make it into anything.I also love having something to do with my hands. I watch too much TV and it feels so wonderful to be learning something that I can do while watching TV. There is something very comforting about actively using both hands and therefore both sides of my brain. Oh, what freedom to find a hand craft that my perfectionist simply doesn't give a darn about. Who cares it says.......so off I go practicing a little here and there and just having fun learning something new. That is sacred.
