I’m a natural! I swear: I am a NATURAL at repeating myself! And I LOVE your example. What a beautiful example❣️

Seeing your swatches has given me a boost to go on with my long strips of different colours to make an interpretation of the Folkwear Tibetan Panel Coat. A very happy repetition of many colours.

I love the quote and the others found here.

Are those swatches or dish cloths? I loved them, too.

Swatches! Though I suppose they could be dish cloths too...

Repetition has its merits, but I think that maybe you are turning into a swatchaholic.

My daughter’s birthday is Friday and I am furiously trying to finish weaving the wrap I am making for her. The repetition of shuttle through the shed, heddle to the weft line, while listening to audiobooks is soothing. I highly recommend it.

Love the swatches. This is a funny thing to have a national day for. We repeat some things multiple times a day - think daily chores, cooking, eating, checking out the window for something interesting, checking the headlines, and more and more - and that is just at home. As for me, one of my favorite things to repeat and repeat is hugging my kitties. Warmth and contentment and joy - all at once.

I will try to remember that dusting and vacuuming every Tuesday is not the most important on repeat thing today!

A good day to play with sequence knitting! And I will listen to Keb Mo’s song Life is Beautiful at least twice.

Clara, I think this post, what you’ve written & the photo is headed for the “our favorite” file – let’s repeat it again, right?

See what I did there? 🌺

If only we could repeat what is positive in our lives instead some of our lesser characteristics !

It's so true. Why are the good habits harder to maintain than the bad ones?

That is the question of life. Maybe one that should be questioned, itself. Who decided which habits are good and which are bad?
