| Perhaps I should try Origami. |
Yesterday afternoon I had an idea for an afghan pattern for Libby, a take on a craft we used to make at bible school called God's Eye. They're weird, intense looking little things made of popsicle sticks and yarn, but I thought I could borrow from the look, use some light variegated yarn and make it cute.
We were a bit busy, and I spent most of the evening doing housework and working on some photoshopping and html for blog features to come. It was midnight before I was finally able to put pen to paper and work out theoretical stitches and gauge for the project. I ran my finished idea by Ben, and satisfied with the start, I went to bed.
This morning after breakfasts were finished, I sat down to do a swatch. I spent the next two hours just trying to figure out what the heck I had been thinking.
Everything I had patterned the night before was completely backwards. I revised, revised, and revised again, each time knitting a new swatch. By early afternoon I figured out exactly what I had intended, but was so thoroughly disgusted with it I quit. When I can look at it without wanting to vomit I suppose I'll try again. |
