I am finding that knowledge increases exponentially as I create more and more.  In simple truth, practice makes perfect.  Yes, but not only that, it takes knowledge to have deeper insights and thereby gaining further knowledge. Such is the learning curve in all aspects of my life.  As I have been knitting up a storm, actual rainstorms have been frequenting the mountain, nearly nonstop for about a week, and so I’ve been getting lots of knitting done,  and of course nobody can survive on knitting alone, so one must get out and about.  More importantly, the mind needs to step back into another environment of sensory experience, in order to get perspective.  I do as so many artists have done through the existence of humanity,  I gain ideas about relationship between color and shape from nature.  Simply ‘getting perspective’ is essential part of any creative endeavor !

Out getting perspective, on a nice rainy day walk in March.
