Wow. I have to admit this publicly. I can commit to a project, but if I don’t LOVE it, or something doesn’t feel just right, I will rip it out with no regrets.
Anyone else like that?
Take my current quest, for example. A few weeks ago, I posted my thoughts on going from fleece to sweater. I thought that with the first bag of wool, I would do something smallish, like a vest or shawl. Then, with the lamb’s wool locks (which is so soft it’s amazing) I would do the sweater.
On my trip to the UK, I started the Hiker’s Waistcoat. Hated it. After about three inches, rippit..rippit..you get the picture. Then I decided just a simple cabled vest. Made it to four inches. Yup. R-I-P.
Then I started the shawl from Lee Meredith’s site, got to the last part..literally the trim..and out it went, to the knitted WIP graveyard.
I saw this vest on Knitty. LOVE…
But I didn’t want grey. By now, I had spun the right amount for the vest, right gauge, so I dyed it a beautiful cobalt blue. I’m in. No more frogging.
And while I knit this I will be spinning my lamb’s wool..enough for a sweater that I don’t frog, right?
Spin on!
Lovely blue colour…. well done.
I do the same when it comes to frogging. If I’m not feeling it….I’m frogging’ it!!!
If it does not speak to you at all…then out it goes. Better to enjoy doing what brings you joy! 🙂 m.
Are you like that when it comes to reading books too? I only ask because i have to finish a book and i have not yet not finished a project. I somewhat envy you…. Love the colour of ypur yarn.
Funny! I can totally walk away from a book or a movie, but my husband has to get to the end of a movie..no matter how bad it is!
Must be all down to personality!
Am with you on frogging. Have finished past projects I didn’t quite like and never wore them. Would rather frog sooner than later. LOVE the cobalt blue!
Thanks!! And yes..I hate the fact that I have a cardigan I will never wear. Better to start over!
