Affirmations for the Serious Knitter

 

As read on my knitting podcast for this week (at the 13:48 mark).

AFFIRMATIONS FOR THE SERIOUS KNITTER. 

1. No housework until I have knit for fifteen minutes. 

2.  I want to knit.  Worrying, complaining, computerizing, rushing, shopping, people-pleasing, (fill in the blank) is NOT knitting.

3.  "I should do this, I should do that."  I will stop "should-ing" all over myself, cast on, and knit. 

4.  I am an artist. (Repeat three thousand times daily, preferably while knitting.)

5.  As an artist, I won a palette of textures and colors, also known as a stash.  No one ever told Van Gogh he had too many colors of paint. I appreciate, treasure, deserve, and utilize every skein of yarn I own, even if it is just for inspiration. 

6.  In addition, I show gratitude for my abundance of yarn by finding another knitter to knit the yarn I know I will never use. 

7.  I am proud of my creativity. (see number 4) 

8.  My ability to create and complete knitting projects is a great gift.  I show my gratitude for this gift by completing projects, wearing them, and saying to all admirers, "I knit it myself!" And when I do, the angels rejoice, and knit with me. 

BingAI can't get knitting needles right yet.

9.  I want to knit sweaters (socks, baby things, afghans etc.) and I remind myself regularly how important knitting is to me.

10.  I'm gonna knit it, I'm gonna finish it, I'm gonna wear it -- with a smile!
