Just discovered you on Substack and love the honesty of your words! It's so hard, isn't it, deciding just what to share of yourself and your work (whatever that is) online, and where best to channel said energies. I am flitting between here and Substack almost in the way I craft... For example, is what I'm working on right now - a Shetland Fair Isle hat - but when the going gets tough (the crown, the 👑!) I start flirting with the idea of a simpler project, say a self-coloured ribbed beanie... To stick with what's hard but ultimately rewarding (growing your Substack!) Or to get the quick thrill of an easier make (gain a few likes from a quick pic posted on the 'gram) Oh, LIFE!
Ah, I love that comparison! The quick wins can fuel the long hauls but a balance of both can be surprisingly hard to find.
And good luck on that hat crown! That’s absolutely the kind of thing that I would rush through just to get to the finished product but it’s worth taking time with. It’s going to be beautiful.
That sweater is gorgeous Annie!
Thank you!!
