I started this knitting project in January to help Katie raise money for a trip to Africa, that trip is a no go but I have continued with the project to raise money for the Silent River Benevolent Foundation. I have been making and selling the same thing for all of this calendar year, dish clothes and oven mitts. I have taken a few side trips to make a baby blanket or two but I have continued on with this project through thick and thin for nearly 11 months now. Last night, it occurred to me that it is very much like the I Ho Chuan, always working towards the end goal with a few side trips here and there. Those side trips may include injuries, lack of motivation, or just lack of participation but they are the same and we always come back to working on the goals again. I have learned much more than I have given myself credit for by being a part of so many I Ho Chuan teams, I am living the life and I wasn't even trying that hard!
So much like the I Ho Chuan year, the end of my project is in sight and I don't intend to ever quit knitting (or kung fu) but I will do something slightly different in the coming year.
