When Holly was here in town several months ago, I showed her a project I was working on.
She admired the yarn, but as she did so, simply having another set of eyes looking at what I was making it into made me face that yes it was a doodle but no I didn’t like how the second half was coming out.
Finally today I sat down and risked it catching on itself all over the place and carefully ripped half of that little shawl back and reknit the now-squiggly length back up and past that point. It feels so much better.
As it knit back up I gradually went from appeased pride, to, I can’t wait till the recipient gets it!
Meantime, Parker and his cousin, as usual, steal the show. Birthday and Christmas season. Celebration times!
