So, my hands hurt and it may be the temperature. It may be not wearing gloves today. It may be I've been pushing too hard. Today is not exception and I'm working through the frustration of today's efforts because of it. Really it was the machine that pushed me over into no woman's land. The thread has been breaking over and over again with every few stitches. I've been playing with tension and needles but no continuous resolve has set in. Patience may be what I am learning and gentility in the face of frustration. When the occasion rises that I'll need these lessons I'll try to be mindful and grateful. Meanwhile the net is a good tool and I found my answer. A JoAnne's run is in my future.
Got to go. Deadline approacheth for other things.
Take care and stay warm.
As ever, stay hungry and curious.
