⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ i feel like a really good way to manifest things and focus on goals is to have items that remind you of those things! Yesterday I crocheted a bandana that i can see becoming a trademark item of mine - something i can wear on my head when it's hot, my neck when it's cold, that will always match my aesthetic and will look good on me when i'm shifted! it's made of this yarn that's pink, purple, mint and blue with glitter in it, and I have little balls of pastel colors and white... I don't know exactly what i'll do with them, but i'm thinking of maybe some little stars or moons to sew on the corner and hang on the end of the ties. Since I keep losing them while I'm trying to put it on. ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑
⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ Not even just having the item is the most powerful part... to make it, I have to work for a long time, doing simple, repetitive motions that can allow my mind to be wherever I want while my eyes and hands do the work. To know what to make, I have to design it, and open my mind and heart to what will be best for my goals and make me the happiest. The entire process of creating this item is a long act of meditation, and messing up and making something I'm not happy with can point me in the direction of more self-understanding. I have two little triangles made of the pinks the yarn started with - one because I wanted more of the second pink, and one because the second pink took up too much space that i wanted to be used for the other colors. Why use the first pink, when the second pink matches my wolf form's fur? Why use all of the second pink, when I can use half and have more room for the mint and blue, colors so close to my wolf form's eyes, and maybe even make it to the darker blue that reminds me of the night skies i sang to? ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑
⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ Every mistake gives me time to think deeply about what this bandana means to me, and that will stay woven into the yarn long after I've finished making it. The memories ans meaning will still be woven in for as long as I have it. ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑
