With the old Godspell song playing in my head, thus the post title. Here are two amaryllises, taken last night.
My project, meantime, completely stalled out for the day and I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t want to work on it; finally, it hit me that, I was nearly done, I knew who I wanted to knit for next after I finished it, and I had not a clue what to make that person. I was avoiding not knowing what to do. So I went off on an errand this afternoon, I think not for the errand’s sake, really, but rather, to get away from the house and the problem for a moment, and by the time I got home, I pretty much knew. I went through my stash, and one ball after another, one color, one texture, then another, confirmed that yes, that one. No, not that: almost, almost, but go back to the first, yes, that feels right.
Now I know. It feels like such a relief. Back to work!

I love amaryllises (or is it amarylli…not sure which). The pictures on your post are absolutely beautiful. I totally understand the art of avoidance…it is bliss. I often stall on a project due to the fact I just don’t want it to end. The last stitch, the last end woven in or the last button often leads to a sadness akin to finishing the last sentence in a very good novel. But take heart, there is always another project waiting in the wings to offer up just as much joy 🙂

I finished my sweater and was thinking – I HAVE to start another project right away – it was like a craving – luckily knitting circle was the same day and Iwas able to get some new yarn for a new summer weight sweater .. 😉

Comment by Toni 03.21.08 @ 4:42 amWhew. Thank you. I’d visited another blog and had a song I didn’t want stuck in my head, but now, I have the serene “Day by Day” instead. Beautiful flowers.
