Commitment Issues

My darling man-child got himself into a spot of trouble on New Year's Eve, resulting in a ticket and court date, set for January fifteenth. Being that I still mother him (ever so slightly, mind), it was a court date for the whole family... which pretty well had me in knots as soon as I realized it was quickly approaching.

Social commitments are not my strong suit, as, for some years now, I have fought with panic/anxiety which is predominantly triggered outside of our home, almost always when waiting or being still. I realize court probably isn't considered social to many, but, to myself, it involves the same readying... the dressing process, having conversational topics, and bringing something to do should a lull present itself.

For this engagement, I started on an idea I had whilst doing the Christmas makery, which was inspired when knitting a little hat for a friend's niece.


petal: a neutral based beanie for little heads with interchangeable flowers and bands

charcoal heather hat; bands/flowers in soft pink, sage, and grape

I kind of love it. ... but I love most things involving the infliction of absurdity on children :D And, now that I am looking at it, I see the idea can totally be expanded to encompass a propeller beanie! ;) YAY
