Contained - Remain

I need to keep occupied by things. Otherwise my attention is wont to wander.  I like incremental things, for by that means I can track my progress. An empty page waiting to be filled - I can keep track of that. But what words shall I choose to fill it?  I write for myself as much as you, reader.

I live with myself daily, so I tend to take myself and my perspective for granted. Not that it is the only one, but that I dreamily imagine others' points of view. I cannot really escape my mind, but I can put my conceptions at a proverbial arm's length to assess a position from another point of view.
This raises fresh questions and a series of attempted answers. In this habit, I make an assumption that others indulge in the same. Or if they do not mentally circle and cycle through perception filters? I hope it is because the single minded people are honing their own points of view, sharpening them into arrows which plot a future trajectory through life.

I ponder through planning. I almost have to back into a problem, keeping my eyes on the perimeter options, eliminating paths of attack as impractical or overambitious for the benefit of the solution.  Once a problem is reasonably sorted, the excess time can be spent in improving its functionality or appearance.

I crochet things when I watch television shows or movies.  If I cannot share the experience of watching things with friends, I wanted to have something tangible to show for it afterwards. A means of somewhat demonstrating that my time was a wash rather than a total brain drain. I recently started to make people.  My first attempt was an agoraphobic newsie about a year or so ago for a friend.

While this was reasonably well done for a first attempt, I was making it up as I went along. The problem solving was a bit messy, but the suspenders addition made me particularly proud.

I tend to have a general idea for what I would like for a crocheted project to be at the beginning, but I am willing to adjust my expectations depending on the evolving shape of the creation. I decided that the eyes were difficult to figure out, so I neglected to add them in project person #2.
This fellow was satisfyingly simple to construct, requiring a smaller amount of yarn. I learned how to minimalize to the basic elements of anthropomorphic resemblance. (A fancy way of saying "How little do I have to do to qualify it as being seen a person?")

Oh. My most ambitious project was "Lizzie Bunnet." A red rabbit was requested, and once that was completed, I wondered what else I could add to make it especially unique.
