I always keep parallel projects. If they are too many I get stressed, but usually I see parallel projects as something positive. It gives me the opportunity to work creatively from pure curiosity rather than the drive to finish the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I almost never work on only one project. To me there is a time, a place and a company for everyone of them. Here are some of my current textile projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/one-more-beat\/\">two-end knitting sleeves<\/a> I have been working on off and on since 2019. I usually knit these at work. I just shove one of the sleeves into my bike pannier on days when I work at the office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/one-more-beat\/\">woven band<\/a> to said jacket sleeves. Perfect for train rides or office coffee breaks. I weave on a backstrap loom, so I can just put the back end around my foot and tense the warp by stepping on the gas so to speak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/vavstuga\/\">four meter weave<\/a> in the weaving room. I usually spend an hour or two on Saturday and Sunday mornings with the weave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carding and spinning two-ply woolen yarn from Swedish finull wool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spinning a <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/one-more-beat\/\">two-end knitting yarn<\/a> on a supported spindle. Whenever I need that gentle flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A secret embroidery project. When I know what to add next.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=8849&amp;action=edit\">Picking<\/a> a fleece. When my hands want to dive into a fleece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/flax-brain\/\">shawl in my handspun linen yarn<\/a>. It\u2019s been a while since I worked on this, I have prioritized wool for warming my lap when knitting. But spring is in the air and I think it might be time soon!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

Of course I also have several ongoing writing projects, all with their own contexts. I write by hand in a notebook every morning, in the afternoon in another notebook, on my computer before work on home office days and in the evenings blogging on my laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curiosity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I never work on a project because I feel the need to finish it, or at least that is my goal. I work on a project because I\u2019m curious about it. It needs and deserves my curiosity, I want to give the best of me to the projects I work with. They are too important to rush through. If I can&#8217;t find the curiosity right now I leave the project for a while, allowing it to simmer until I&#8217;m ready for it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes I procrastinate to actively avoid finishing something. A project that has been part of my life for so long can be hard to let go of. Once I have finished it it will turn into something else, something more static than the project that I created every day between my hands. This concept is not far from when I read a book. Who knows what the characters will be up to if I finish the last page and leave them unattended?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" data-attachment-id=\"3438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/twined-knitting\/twined-visby-sleeves-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Twined Visby sleeves\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?fit=525%2C295&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"3438\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Twined-Visby-sleeves-1.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" data-attachment-id=\"9300\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/img_9735\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_9735.jpeg?fit=1024%2C1366&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1366\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 13 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1677053078&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.7&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_9735\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_9735.jpeg?fit=525%2C700&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"9300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_9735.jpeg?resize=525%2C700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_9735.jpeg?resize=768%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_9735.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_9735.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\"><em>My two-end knitted jacket sleeves, shot in Visby, Gotland, in 2019<\/em> (left) and the same sleeves this week, at an equality breakfast lecture at work (right). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes a project lies unattended for a long time. That doesn\u2019t mean I have forgotten about it. I just need some inspiration from elsewhere to find that curiosity again. Perhaps I learn something new that will bring a fresh persepective on the technique or to my approach to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The forever sleeves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My two-end knitted sleeves is one such project. I started spinning the dalap\u00e4ls yarn on a supported spindle in 2019 and started knitting. As I reached above the elbow I realized I needed to rip a substantial part up to alter the size, which was moderately fun. For some reason I forgot about the sleeves for quite a while. When I reconnected with them again I needed to alter them back. Just recently I caught up to the clean and un-frogged yarn and I realized that I needed to spin some more yarn. In November I visited my friend Lena who has Dalap\u00e4ls sheep and I got a bag of the perfect wool for the last skeins for the sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a person of many ideas. Ideas are new in the world need some extra love and care. The projects will still be there, but the ideas need tending to to grow up and ripen. Not all ideas reach full maturation, though. But that doesn\u2019t mean they are wasted. Quite the opposite, every blah idea can be the source of a brilliant idea that I do pursue. I need to kneed the blah and let it marinate to see where it can bring me.
