My father, who was a Recreation
Management Professor, always said that any vacation or experience has four
phases: Planning, Anticipation, Experience, and Remembrance. I have always
remembered this and tried to make the most of planning and anticipation knowing
that that was half the fun.
I am therefore having a ton of fun
planning for my Artist-in-Residency at Black Rock/High Rock. My first task was
choosing a palette. In addition to gaining inspiration through sketching and
journaling, I want to be able to knit swatches while I am out there. I only
have two short weeks and I want to be as productive as possible. This palette
of yarn is what I will be taking. It truly sings to me. The muted desert colors
are so beautiful I am itching to get started!
In addition, I want to bring a set of
needles, not only for me, but for others who might want to knit or learn to
knit. This set of bamboo straight and double pointed needles are coming along for
the ride (along with my well-used collection of needles that I use everyday). Thinking and organizing like this is so
satisfying to me. I am a true believer that the anticipation and planning is half
the fun of any adventure.
