Lior on While I was knitting

The part about changing measurements... My shoulders grew suddenly last year, so I have to be very carefully again when choosing projects (and make a lot of sweaters bc several store bought items no longer fit comfortably). I would add: I really have to listen to my sensory needs. Just because I like the look or feel on my hands, it doesn't have to be nice on my wrists, neck and arms, so I need to choose fibers carefully. Even if it means I can't knit that sweater in this beautiful rustic wool. Another thing: treating gauge more realistically. There was a time I could knit a whole garment in one gauge and switch to another with a completely different tension. Right now it's not that time. So instead of fretting over it, I just have to keep checking, trying on, blocking in between etc. And: working with a new fiber (linen this year) means I am starting anew, because the fiber properties are just different. That's OK. I will simply learn a lot of new and fascinating things. :)
