When life throws you lemons ...

It is winter and I need head gear. Not going to be satisfied with wigs I decided I will knit head gear. The perfect opportunity to indulge in my passion for all things yarn.

Here are a few I knitted with links to the patterns. I will add more as I do them.

  What does it mean t o be alert and relaxed? It  seems to be, t he obvious paradox When you are alert,  y ou are always waiting For something to happen, that you are wanting How can you relax w hen your heart is raising Waiting for something that could be amazing And then again y ou can really be alert When you are playing with a child or crossing a street    But are you relaxed i n any of those places?
