Hmm, what can I say? My last post boasted about a new project I was starting … and I did start it! But it was one of those projects where you had to count every stitch on every row. It certainly wasn’t relaxing, or easy!
As a result, I procrastinated until the end of winter and then put it aside because it was spring and probably will never touch it again. I was making a cabled bag that could have been used for several things…
…carrying my laptop in.
…storing my unused wool.
…taking extras with me when I went out.
And a whole load of other possibilities.
I only managed to complete a couple of inches (three at the most), but I wasn’t enjoying myself. I loved the pattern but did not love the creating of that pattern. So, I hang my head in shame and admit that I will pull apart what I’ve done and will find another pattern that will be easier for me to complete. I think it’s better to complete an easier pattern than to never knit again because of a difficult pattern.
Technically it’s still the middle of summer, at the moment, but it’s been a very mild summer and I could easier sit and knit in the evenings. I’m not making any promises mind you, but at least I’m thinking about it.
