I went to bed last night with a new project started.
I’m going to bed tonight with my new project frogged. Looking at that last bit of strand unstrung, there was a sense of, free at last!
If I can’t get myself to knit on it all day long, if I have to lecture myself to keep going rather than feeling a sense of joy as I bring something never done before into the world, there’s a reason for it. I’ve learned what I needed to learn from it, I know now what that baby alpaca/silk is supposed to come out looking like, and tomorrow, it will.
New beginnings are wonderful things. I can’t wait!

That is such a good attitude to take.
Comment by debra 07.26.10 @ 5:22 amah yes, tomorrow is another day Scarlet! I recently frogged out a project because I just didn’t like the color combo — so liberating!!

Comment by gMarie 07.26.10 @ 8:28 amNow you’ve given me something like a Weird Al earworm. I say you run with that title and have your musical children help turn you into a YouTube hit among the knitterly blogosphere.
Comment by LynnM 07.26.10 @ 9:07 amFree, indeed. Life is too short for knitting you find unpleasurable.
Comment by Barbara-Kay 07.26.10 @ 11:43 amI agree with gMarie: what a great take on frogging! I need to make notes of it and leave them in all my knitting books and bags of projects… Just in case I forget. hihihi
New beginnings *sigh* indeed!
