Life is complicated - love, family, work... Knitting is simple - it's about imagination and creativity - about connecting with history and about connecting with my inner self. People knitted in ancient Eygpt, in the Middle Ages, on boats fishing off the coast of Scotland in the eighteenth century and today. Pretty amazing really. When I knit I relax, the rhythm allows my mind to wander. I solve the problems of my world!
Yes, it is a possum!

I love knitting. It is creative and allows me to connect with my past and present. It brings me inner calm. I also love reading, good food and I am a keen gardener. My Blog isn't just about knitting - but it's a central theme. I am interested in design and have studied landscape architecture. I work in the city and live on the coast. I love the contrast.

Aren't you lucky the possum was so amenable to being ushered outside! You'll have to keep those gauze doors closed! I do, because I worry that a snake might slither in when I'm not looking - not that one has in 40 years!, but this anxiety dates back about 50 years to when I was a teenager and we had a small red bellied black snake in our house - we didn't have gauze doors. I live somewhere completely different now, but when we had a cat, she used to deposit little (dead) brown snakes on the front door mat, so they are around somewhere.
How crazy! That would freak me out.
That possum is very brave. Doesn't in know how gorgeous possum fibre is to knit with?
wow seeing the picture i thought you were quoting magritte's ceci ne pas une pipe painting. a possum. i will have to look that up. ok. now i am with. weird and scary maybe.
Beautiful!
I don't know about the possums in Australia, but the ones here FREAK me OUT because they just sit there and HISS at you instead of running away like most sensible wild animals. AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH! I'm glad that one cooperated with relocation efforts.
Maybe it would like a little sweater knitted for it.
