Inspiration Monday #8: Creativity

I just started reading Twyla Tharp's The Creative Habit last night and stayed up much later than I should have, enthralled by the concept of a creative habit and preparation for creativity. More on this as I get through the book and have some time to process it all.
Creativity keeps popping up:

• CopyBlogger took a survey of what creativity is
• A Creative Journal: just discovered this site dedicated to journaling, just in time for my new journal!

I'm also thinking a lot about knitting with my own handspun. I can't seem to get up the courage to dye and spin the 24 oz of Merino I received as a gift over 2 years ago! I've yet to settle on a project that would meet my demands that 1. It be a project that I can see/use a LOT, not just during the (short) winter months and not so bright and "homemade" that I just wear it around the house. Nothing sloppy 2. It be doable and finishable - no intricate lace shawl with cobweb weight 3-ply! I've been perusing the following links, in hope of inspiration:

• Jane, a newish spinner, well, her bravery is just amazing me!
• Here's an article on the subject of knitting with handspun
• And of course, Knittyspin!
  

After seeing see this sweater, it all clicked: I need to knit a comfy, wear-everywhere hoodie out of my handspun! Nothing too bright, just muted, slightly stripey handdyed, handspun hoodie!
