.......not a resolution, just a realisation and an idea that might help and motivate me.
I used to think that agoraphobia meant that you don't go out - at all. It doesn't. I've got it. I'm also doing what I can to try to help myself.
At the moment, in all aspects of my life(mental. emotional, physical, spiritual) knitting is helping me keep going. I've also come to the conclusion(always knew really) that I'm not terribly good at big things.......and since I love making socks, they are perfect to make. For me, of course :)
And.....I got some wonderful Doc Marten sandals in the sales(several pairs for the price of one)......and then the thought came to me, like putting two and two together: sandals and socks: and then I thought, hmmmmm......that might encourage me to go out a little more; lovely new sandals to make all kinds of socks to show off......
just out locally, nothing spectacular: but OUT.
So I get to make my favourite thing to help myself...sounds good to me.
Oh, and I have Wollmeise, and some Sanguine Gryphon.....
Have finished one pair already and am charging up the camera so i hope to put pics up - please come back and have a look....the colourway reminds me of Cox's Orange Pippin apples......Wollmeise.....
got lots of others on the go - I like to have several different things at different stages/levels of difficulty(though most being simple stocking stitch: just knitting and loving it, the smooth motion being soothing in itself)
so, a bit of a ramble.....pics to follow, with luck......

What a clever idea :)
I ruined a new pair of socks in one day by wearing them with sandals, I was power-walking a bit but still. I tore two holes in each so take care!
