Story Of The Week
Its about trying new things. You know how it is when you see a pattern to technique that you want to try, but it seems too scary. So you just don't try it and it sits in an unfinished project or pattern that you bought months ago. You don't start because you are afraid to fail.
On Tuesday this week I was thinking about the podcast, and I thought about the fiber that was waiting to be plied. It had rested enough. I took the bull by the horns and got everything ready, watched the YouTube Videos again, and just tried it. And it was pretty easy to get the hang of it.
Next thing for me to tackle in fiber is the Bakery Bear. It has been looming a bit.
After that I have to tackle that exercise thing….
