All’s well…until it’s not
Things had been going along swimmingly. The green yarn came (Shibui Silk Cloud in Apple, and yummy stuff it is), wobbly bits continued to wobble, and all was well.
Until I took it off the needles and laid it down to really look at the shape of the curve.
At which point I decided the bottom was too flat and the top too pointy and had a bit of a sulk.
And then had a bit of a rip (anybody else think it looks like ramen when it’s ripped?).
And then shortly after that had a bit of a reknit, which you’ll see next time. But allowing time for proper sulking really is vital, don’t forget that part.
I rather like the flow of it as it was. Looking forward to seeing the changes.
I liked it too (though I am sure I’ll like the changes as well). It makes me think of peaks and valleys. Though having grown up in a valley I may be partial to them. 🙂 It also makes me think of my math teachers from school, which were two of everybody’s favorite’s. Are fond memories of trigonometry an oxymoron?
I agree completely that allowing a time for sulking is a very important component. I have a cowl / neck warmer on my needles now, and it’s been a 10cm forward 5cm back type project. Love the colours and the curves stripe idea, hope you can bend it to your will.
it’s very allowable to be annoyed at your project…and put it in time out when necessary. This is especially true of Brioche.
