Can You Spell Slacker?

August27

Let’s see . . .
I-d-a.
Ding, ding, ding. And we have a winner.

I have been seriously slacking off lately. Work, knitting . . . it doesn’t seem to matter. Of course, this means I’m way behind on things, including a rush editing job for a high-profile author. Oy.

So what have I been doing? Watching TV of course. But, I have been working while watching television. Seriously. No really, seriously. But that’s not all. I’ve been coming up with new ideas. The other night, just as I was nodding off to sleep way too late, I got an idea. I didn’t get up to write it down, because I was already getting to bed much later than I wanted. I was also sure I’d remember in the morning. And this time I was right. I did remember.

That got me to thinking about ideas. I seem to get most of what I consider my best ideas when I’m just falling asleep, sitting on the toilet (oops, should have probably given you a TMI alert), or driving.

When do you get your most creative/best ideas?

    I love this blog, btw, and Ida’s others. I guess I’m in the TMI mode too as most of my best ideas come when I’m in the shower as that is the only quiet time I have. Or, when I’m driving from Ithaca home to Binghamton…always when I can’t put pen to paper and have to try to just remember…oh, and try not to swerve to the rumble strips as I’m imagining how I’m going to put togher that tiny sweater or how I finally understand some sock directions. LOL! Beware 17 E drivers!

Heather and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Sairy Knits and Digitalnabi come together to provide a two part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005.  Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
