Other Creative Outlets #IWSG





It's the first Wednesday of the month again, and time for the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Today's Question: Besides writing, what other creative outlets do you have?

Thanks to our Co-Hosts:  Raimey Gallant, Natalie Aguirre, CV Grehan, and Michelle Wallace!

Most of my spare time these days is taken up by some aspect of my writing- whether it's actual writing, or publicity, or tending to social pages to get my name out there. But I have one other creative outlet that I've shared on here before- needlepoint and types of yarn art..

I think the reason I enjoy it is because there's an almost mathematical precision to it that results in beautiful designs. It's relaxing and exciting at the same time to watch yarn become art.

I did a blog post on this a couple of years ago, so a few of you may recognize some of my work.The pictures below may not be my original designs, but they are results of my hard work.









So that's some of what I do besides write.

  3. It's done in what is called long stitch. Creates a more textured effect than many other stitches.

  4. I bet it is relaxing. Gives your mind a chance to work on writing stuff without hurting itself!
