My Year Of Everything

You know how every non-fiction book in the last three years has been about the author doing one odd, life-disrupting thing for one full year and then writing a book about it? I'm reading one of those books a week for one full year and then writing a book about it. It's My Year Of Everything, and you're soaking in it. CONTACT: Dave Holmes/davedotcom@mac.com

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Sweater Quest

Alright. I had a hard time getting into this one, as patterns and yarn and purls and whatnot are not my thing. I had to force myself to pay attention (much like plucky Julia Roberts as plucky Elizabeth Gilbert pluckily trying to meditate in the commercial for the “Eat, Pray, Love” movie*). 

And I’m glad I did. There’s a lot of good stuff in here about picking a project and sticking to it. About letting yourself off the hook for mistakes. About picking up, pulling some yarn out and starting again if you make a mistake or drift for a while and not judging yourself for it. It’s just yarn. It’s just words. 

* which I am going to see the shit out of.
