Knitter, welcome to the wild side

Gossamer – One skein shawl knitting pattern with delicate lace and garter stitch

We all juggle two sides within us: the one who loves to check things off the to-do list and the one who wants just to play around and create.

Our practical side makes sure the bills get paid and that we’re doing what we’re ‘supposed’ to. This side is about efficiency and rationality.

Then, there’s our creative side. This one’s a bit wild.

The creative side is all about colouring outside the lines, trying new things just because, and making something even if it’s not ‘useful.’

It’s the side that stays up late with a new project, not because it has to, but because it’s fun and feels good.

Sometimes, they clash.

Your practical side glances at the to-do list or that pile of laundry and tells your creative side there’s no time for fun and games.

But here’s the thing—letting your creative side out to play is what makes you who you are.

It adds spice to the routine and can make the practical stuff more colourful.

Which side are you listening to today?
