It's back!! I got the 3-beat weave back. No one probably remembers this ripple in my life, but awhile back I had to take a poi break because I was having a lot of pain in my left shoulder. This was only about a day after I finally figured out the 3-beat weave (a cool looking but allegedly beginner move that had eluded me for some time). A few days later, I tried it again and had totally lost it. But my shoulder was still hurting, so I extended my break.
I just recently began working with poi again, and my shoulder has totally recovered. (or had ... who knows if I'm going to do it again) And, I finally got the 3-beat weave back. I also got all the "simple turns" back (I had lost those too, for awhile). I lost a couple of other moves I have to re-work, but figured out at least one new one ... so it's a kind of one step forward, one step back kinda thing.
But I'm definitely re-obsessed, which is a good sign. I often become temporarily obsessed with something, only to lose interest in a short time. The fact that I have returned to poi after letting my shoulder get better, and still feel the same obsession with it, leads me to believe this is really something I'll stick with. And that's cool, because it's so much fun !!!!
But the job blues continue. But I don't really want to get into that tonight, so I'll save it for another time.
In more better news, however, I went back to work on the sweater tonight! I didn't get a lot done, but I did do a row or two (I'm on the back now, where the rows are twice as long, so it doesn't go as quickly). But it's nice to be back to work on the sweater.
And the best news of all ... my annual trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina is in only 10 DAYS!!! I. So. Cannot. Wait. (and I'm seriously hoping for no hurricanes!!)
