Sorry I didn’t do a post on Sunday night, I got distracted.
Knitting started again on Sunday afternoon. It was amazing to see the knitting crew again and talk to them.
So on Sunday I started a new project using wool I got from there. It’s a rule that says we have to use wool from there while we are in their knitting group.
As I’ve been knitting lots of socks recently I decided that I’d do another pair of socks. I’ve wanted to do a cable knit sock pattern so I found one. Being the bright spark that I am I thought that instead of my normal 9 inch circular needle I was going to use Double pointed needles. So instead of one needle I was going to use 5.
When I started knitting originally the first project I tried to do used double pointed needles. I didn’t really get on with them then so I thought why not let’s give it another go. I managed to cast on and do a round or two then realised I should have been doing a 2 by 2 rib pattern and I kept having issues with the needles slipping out. So Sunday evening I gave up with the double pointed needles, pulled it back and decided to start again.
This time though I went straight in with my 9 inch circular. Rib done with no problem and last night I went through the first part of the cable pattern and decided to call it a night there. The wool I’m using for these socks it pretty though.
As per usual I’ve done a few cards and some tangling.
Here are the tangles:
Here are the cards:
I even did some colouring:
This last week I’ve found colouring and Tangling to be great escapes from the drudge of the everyday. It’s helped me escape the pain, dizziness and anxiety. In my opinion crafting of any kind is great for mental health. Give it a go, it’s amazing and you get something great at the end of it.
On Wednesday night it was the Gong Bath. The first one in over 12 months. I missed it so much. Just getting an hour to yourself where you can go, do and be anything and everything is amazing.
I was a bit worried at first because of the dry mouth. I was scared that during a deep and meaningful meditation my mouth would go dry, my tongue would stick to the roof of my mouth and I’d have issue breathing because of it. Before the session I made sure to drink plenty of water, used my sprays, put some eucalyptus oil under my nose and even started the session with one of the sweets in my mouth. It turns out I was worried for nothing and during the time dry mouth was not an issue.
During the gong bath I know I was off traveling, learning things and getting some great healing. As I normally do with the gong bath I had some crystals with me. Beside my normal jewellery (Moldavite pendant, clear quartz merkabah pendant, black tourmaline bracelet and a shungite bracelet) I had a piece of auralite 23 in each hand and some apophilite on my heart. My Clear Quartz crystal was also there getting a good cleans and charge in the energy and sound of the gongs.
I love the gong bath and always feel great after them and I really would suggest dining one and giving it a go. Here is a link to Graham and Ondray’s website where you can find out more about gong baths and the other things they offer.
On Wednesday night I also got my first hug from someone outside the immediate family. It was from Ondray. It was amazing. She gives good hugs anyway but like I said it was the first one from someone else in over 12 months.
At church tonight I managed to get something in about masks and face coverings and wearing them properly. It does my head in that over 12 months later that people either refuse to wear one or don’t wear it properly. They just don’t seem to realise that just covering your mouth defeats the object of wearing a mask in the first place. Fine for the people that can’t wear one for a legitimate reason but don’t come in wearing one then take it off when you sit down. People like you are the reason things are still as bad as they are and why new variants of the fecking virus are floating around and doing untold damage to people.so if you’re wearing a face covering, wear it properly.
The other day I was bored and was having a play around on my laptop and came up with this sign:
It made me chuckle. It’s something that seems to happen quite a lot. When a medium is on the platform doing their demonstration they start giving a message to someone. Rather than just saying yes, no or I don’t know they start giving the medium the full details of what ever it is the medium is talking about.
When that happens it makes the mediums job a million times harder. The point of the demonstration is for the medium to be able to give you evidence of a person that is in spirit. When you tell the medium everything about someone in spirit it doesn’t leave much information for them to give as evidence that you haven’t spoken about.
So if you’re getting a message, don’t give the medium your life story. It’s their job to give you the information, not the other way round.
That’s about it from me for now.
Stay safe, Love and Light.
