Mystery Project


I've decided to try double knitting a reversible bag, with an intarsia insert, and then felt the whole thing. Yes, this is tatamount to knitting suicide. Why is it I always try to learn new techniques by jumping feet first over my head into an uber project of impossible difficulty? I can't help it. I see something, I want it, and if it's impossibly hard, then I want it even more.


I'm sure this says something psychologically bad about my personality or childhood. But a friend has promised to be truly impressed if I pull this off and, well, I'm owed. I've started her on some craft once too often and she's pulled off something I can't do weeks later. That just sucks. I hate being pushed off the top of the totem pole.


See? Something psychologically bad... Ah well.


I'll keep y'all updated with the progress of this impossible mystery project.

I'm already impressed by your knitting! Hell, I'm impressed that you FINISH all these projects. You with ADHD are finishing all these looooooong projects when I, who just has a short attention span for no good reason, have wandered off from two knitting projects still on the needles. Did I mention I have only ever finished 2 projects? A hat and a potholder. So trust me, I'm already impressed.

Keep knitting!! (And maybe I'll go pick up that rabbit scarf again sometime....)
