Complicated.

Luckily, this one didn't smell.  100% silk so the potential was great.  Airy light, rippling drape, just in time for Summer. 
Looks ridiculously complicated.
All over lace,elegant.
4 different lace charts, scary.
Customizing size away from pattern, confusing.
Seaming all pieces together, boring.
Complicated?
No.
One week of knitting, not even every day. 
Including a full day of ripping back, after a failed attempt at therapy knitting. 
Lace is for a clear head. 
Rhythmically counting off each stitch.  28,29,30,31...only to return again 1,2,3,4...over and over until all that seems so complicated, ceases.
The pulse that pounds the temple, slows.  7,8,9,10...
Ears open.   Ah, so that's what He's been trying to say. 
Priorities firmly re-assessed.  Back to my simple life and it's amazing here.
