Yarn Everyday

I long to pay attention to the daily. A grumpy day will pass and it’s not until I’m falling asleep that I realize I haven’t touched any fiber all day (this is rare, but when it happens, I feel it in my bones). Many beautiful days pass without me capturing even a moment, with a picture or a small note in my journal.

Bringing some awareness to these moments and ensuring I get a little fiber time every day would surely remind me to enjoy the daily.

I love challenges that force you to become more aware of these every day moments and how you spend them. Art Every Day, NaNoWriMo, NaKniSweMo: they all make you think about how you spend your time and how you can work a bit more art, writing and knitting into your daily habits.

With this in mind, I’ve started my own little daily project: Yarn Everyday.

Everyday I want to make a least a little yarn, whether it’s spinning, dyeing or carding. And it’s not enough to make it, I want to capture it, on camera.

Beginning tomorrow, April 1st, I’ll be making a little yarn daily and sharing it here. If you’d like to join in and challenge yourself, there’s a Ravelry group, Yarn Everyday.

There’s already so much interest in it (24 members and counting), so I’m putting together a few prizes for everyone who successfully completes the project and creates both yarn and picture every day!
