A Quiz

I bought a book last night...

nothing new about that you say.
You're right.

The title is _One Year to a Writing Life_.
I really need another how-to writing book.
Right?

Of course, I started it before bed.
It addresses living the creative life...
making life art.

Tiberghien says you journal to know yourself.
And I believe you knit to know yourself.

She has you sketch a Mandala and
create a center and fill it with an 
image or images to discern
your feelings, become more aware.

It seems to me that knitting in the round
is another way to create a Mandala.

My obsession with hatbands still reigns.
So, a white wool hat filled my circle: 
a band comprised of six rows of stockinette
followed by six rows of k1, pl.  
Great edge.

What does that tell you?
I am a minimalist.
I love short term commitment.
Plain vanilla works for me.
I avoid grand sweeping costly projects.

The writing life is composed of 12 parts.
What comprises a knitting life?
Could it be divided into 12 parts?
Are they sequential or independent?

It's a quiz.
What would you say?
