wishful thinking

i wish i was back at knitcamp. i wish life was one big knit camp. it is most inconsiderate of kristy to fly to the US to see family and not be here organising knit camp every weekend. you know that thing where you work all weekend and don’t know how to relax, and then suddenly you just can not do this anymore? that.

work was hard this week, hard and stressful and also incredibly rewarding. now i am marking assignments. on a sunday.

marking

i wish i was knitting. or swimming in the ocean (if it was warm enough, which it is not quite yet). i am obsessed with this cardigan thing

even though there are three sets of needles hanging off while i work on the two fronts and back separately, and all those ends. complicated.

i had the three dogs for one night

and i wish they were here all the time. i took the rug up this morning. signs of summer.

i wish it was winter still. its been hot already. not too hot to knit with a puppy in your lap though

hot

i love winter. we all whine about it here but its not cold at all. how can it be cold when it doesnt snow? i wish i lived somewhere where it snowed. like here

i sent off a package this week

and i wish i was going with it. i sat outside last night and watched the sunset

and it was oddly quiet and i could hear a plane, a long way up in the sky, and i wanted to be on it. i dont know why, im happy enough. just….wishing….

i wish the bunnies hadnt lost and were in the grand final. watching the game and seeing the passion of the fans made me feel like i was a little girl again, watching the game with my dad, wearing his red and green jersey like it was a dress, clutching my red and green and white stuffed velvet rabbit. i wish lots of things about that.

instead i went shopping and bought all the things

allthethings

including more stuffed bunnies for my puppy

she is ripping the ears off this monkey at the moment.

i felt a little better after i painted my nails chanel red

and bought new shoes. black and red. because shoes

i wish we didnt have a climate change denying, racist, technophobe cold hearted government. but then, i wish unicorns existed too. and sparkly vampires.

sigh.
