Wow is it already Friday?! I’ve been making progress with the grey snood and having some relaxation in the process… been enjoying some TED talks whilst working the yarn. Thought I’d share a few that particularly inspired and challenged me. Kinda made knitting feel like a really productive task – enjoy! And take care this weekend – thinking especially of everyone affected by the stormy weather and tidal surges affecting the UK. Hope you’re all ok ❤
A talk about lollipop moments! “There is no world, there’s only 6 billion understandings of it. And if you change one person’s understanding of it…you change the whole thing.”
A talk about how feminism most definitely isn’t dated, with a lot of humour, realism and passion.
Our current education systems educate creativity out of children. We need to be “…seeing our creative capacities for the richness they are, and seeing our children for the hope that they are.”

What a great idea to knit and get educated! I’ll have to check these out.
I made five simple hats for the family this year. It was fun. Now I need to make one for myself.

Would love to see them – have you already posted them on your blog? Sorry I’m behind on my reading… Hope you enjoyed the talks 🙂

I know how that goes. I never manage to have less than 600 emails waiting. Usually I just go and erase the previous month if I haven’t gotten to it. We can only do so much! I’ll look for a pic.

Glad it’s not only me haha (although I can’t say I get anything like 600 emails)!

These are all new followers and likes and new blog posts as I suck at using the WP reader.

I miss Google reader to be honest. I still haven’t found a good replacement. WP reader is not great but will have to do me. I can’t handle too many emails!

TED Talks are great! Thanks for the reminder to visit again. Haven’t looked around TED in a while … and has been even longer since I knitted 😉

Am thankfully not in the worst hit areas for flooding and thankfully only suffered a broken fence so far, that we have yet to find a dry slot when we are free, to refit it!

I l.o.v.e TED talk! I’ve also just had a nosey round your blog (which is gorgeous), and I’m now craving cheese on toast…

Or even TED talks…

😉 Thanks for stopping by…sorry for my slowness in replying.. did you put that cheese on that toast?
30 January 2014 at 18:45
Sadly not, there was no cheese to be found 😦 But I did find Marmite 🙂

Aha! Pity there was no cheese…. cheese plus Marmite could have been perfection! 😉
