Strange as it may sound, the other day I was musing on this Great Recession we are currently living through, and decided I wanted to come up with a piece that summarized and marked “The Great Recession,” for me.
Hardly anyone around me talks about The Great Recession. I hear about it on the news. I know it is evident in my budget every week when I go food shopping. I feel the pinch in other areas of the household. I know others are going through it too… but it is something that is not talked about in friendly chatter.
In that regard, The Great Recession feels rather lonely. Like something I am experiencing all by myself, when I know I’m not.
And so… I decided… I am going to mark this Great Recession in my own life by knitting a very creative sweater… out of my fingering weight/sock yarn odds and ends. I’m hoping to draw upon the “Make do and mend” mentality to put this piece together.
Perhaps it is my own little “bail-out” to bolster my spirit and soldier on. Hopefully it won’t fail! =)
We shall see how it comes out…but in meanwhile… do you and your friends talk about The Great Recession?
