In my heart, there are two wolves.
One which wants to learn new things, and gain new skills; and one which wants to be perfect at everything.
Needless to say, these two tend to bicker a lot.
We cannot grow, and learn, and experience, without practice. And we have to practice, because it isn’t possible to be perfect at something the first time around!
This very early attempt at spinning fibre using a drop spindle, and plying the yarn into a ball, is not perfect; but it has reminded me that beginning to learn and practice a new process is just as rewarding and enriching as the final product.
I’m going to keep this little, lumpy, adorable ball of yarn, to remind myself that playing and trying new things is positive - even if I’m not perfect!
