waiting it out

The idea of moblogging is a whole lot better than the reality of it.. I tried twice during my morning walks on the beach, sitting down on the sand, typing on my cell phone, one letter at a time punched on the numeric keys .. try it.  It takes a long time, and is very frustrating when it does NOT go through.  That’s my excuse. 
A couple of nights ago, while I slept, I finally worked out my next project.  I’d been gathering shells with a shawl in mind.  Things usually appear when you need them, and I had been thinking / searching for an appropriate stitch to use for the body of the shawl.  Monday evening I met with a S&B group in Ft. Lauderdale and Betsy was also searching shawl patterns.  There in front of me, the pattern, a simple K2tog, yo repeat.   Perfect for a fish net sort of thing and just what I had in mind.  I’ll swatch when I get home.  The perfect ( I hope ) yarn sits in my office waiting. 

Which leads me to this question..  what inspires you?  I often find my inspiration from something I see in Nature.. while taking a walk.. something.  Walking on the beach, sort of looking for little shells got me this time. 

Meanwhile, I’m sitting in the airport, flight delayed, (hour 3 here at this point) due to a big storm further up the coast.  I hate sitting here, but wireless internet finally and the though of flying into a storm.. this IS the place to be.
