Time Apart

In high school and at university, I knew couples who decided, after a number of years together, that it was time to take a break. They needed time apart. They needed to find out if they were meant to be together by dating other people.

Personally, I've never understood the notion of time apart or time off. Generally, if you have doubts about the relationship, serious doubts, you're having them for a reason.

But what do I know? Because after taking some time apart from my relationship with knitting, I've found the inspiration to pick up needles again.

Frankly, I knew all along that I'd come back to my beloved knitting; I was just being fickle. It's summer, and you know how you think you'd like to spend more time with your friends or go out with that cute guy at the beach? There was no question that I'd be back to the needles and yarn before long. But I did worry for a bit there. What would bring me back from the dark side of wildly abandoning and frogging projects? When would the romance be rekindled?

So, what did it? There's a new pattern in the works at Glampyre Knits , and it's just the sweet treat I needed on the needles.



Now, all I want to do is knit, and time apart (in this case known as work) is seriously pissing me off.
