"The creative moment of a writer comes with the autumn. The winter is the time for reading, revision, preparation of the soil; the spring for thawing back to life; the summer is for the open air, for satiating the body with health and action, but from October to Christmas for the release of mental energy, the hard crown of the year."
where writing is concerned, i could not agree more. i think my knitting patterns change with the seasons as well. i certainly spin more in the summer than i do in the winter. in the fall i'm usually so crammed with holiday knitting i wouldn't know my natural patterns; i'm trying not to do that this year.
you know what else effects knitting? sims 2, which arrived here yesterday afternoon.
