Evanna Lynch Instagram – Tying up my loose ends… 🧶
I’ve been frantically crafting for a couple years now. I picked up these hobbies in 2022 when my home life was evolving and causing a lot of internal chaos. Instinctively, when my environment is unpredictable I reach for something smaller to visit a sense of order onto. I crocheted almost every evening in 2023 in a sort of trancelike state. 😵💫
This year I haven’t felt such a compulsion to crochet the world 🌈 My home is calm and not throwing constant curveballs in my direction – hooray! But I am undisciplined in finishing my projects. I start them, get excited by a new ball of a yarn, a fancy stitch, a big idea… then my curiosity strays. I hate the bit when you finish a pattern and you have to sit there for an hour and weave in all the loose ends. You’re so nearly finished but there’s one more boring bit! ☝🏻Most of my creations lately sit around unfinished and abandoned in favour of the latest life changing idea. But I need to stay with the boring bit and see my visions through.
This is obviously a metaphor for the rest of my life 🤷🏻♀️ I’m in an awkward place career wise. I need to work much harder at my writing ✍️ I have to let go of some not-for-me projects and cut those cords ✂️ I have loose ends to tie up all over my life. I need to commit to the boring bit for some time. Not get seduced by other people’s journeys, the treacherous suspicion that there’s something more valuable out there then what’s in front of me.
Anyway here is a visual representation of the many ways I’ve been splitting my focus through the multiple craft projects I started and abandoned 🧶 I’m going to go away and turn these into these into actual things… and get back to my writing. | Posted on 29/Apr/2024 15:45:51
