Seeds: 100 Days (71)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 71: 

Five eyes today. I don’t need a lot for the sweater, so this may be it. Now I have to decide how I am going to put it together, and commit to that plan this time.

I love the swelling buds on the sage plant, and that empty seed pods (is that the right word?) of the winter aconite. 

Life is a beautiful cycle. Seed and bud and harvest. A new baby born and growing, and the celebration of the life of a wise and treasured elder who died at 100 years. Life can be hard and holy at the same time, joyful and treacherous, anxious and abundant. May wonder and delight, beauty and awe, pleasure and possibility, bring balance to your days.

Eyes: 100 Days (70)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 70: 

Today I made one further adjustment to the eye granny square, and I think I am finally happy with it.  I undid some of the work I had done a few years ago to put some of the squares together before I abandoned the project, and counted the squares I have—62.  I want to research different ways to put together a granny square sweater, because I kind of like the idea of setting them on an angle.  But then I think I need to learn how to do half granny squares: Hmmmm. Traditional evil eyes are blue, but I am going to make some green and brown as well.

Feels weird not to write a poem.

Longing: 100 Days (66)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 66:

Today was a problem-solving day. I think the shrug is going to be okay! I got one sleeve crocheted together, and I’ll manage the other tomorrow during crochet club after school. I also made a smaller eye that I think will work for the granny square sweater. I just need to get that black layer around the outside.

Longing

The Bird of Longing will sing in your soul.
Her brilliant wings will unfurl within you.
Her bright eye will lead you to your deepest desire.
