caffeine-induced posting

The power went out right around when I was going to cook lunch today, so I had no choice but to go find food elsewhere. Miraculously, I also managed to get some work done at the same time, but since then, I have been procrastinating. I guess tea and muffins don't increase productivity.

I'm almost done with horizontal ribbing/triangle godet section of the back piece. Only 95% of the sweater left to go! Haha. I like the hem of this design so much that I hadn't noticed until recently, since the hem gets cropped off on my monitor, that I like the necklace that the model is wearing in the photo.




I read on Joe's blog that the key to knitting is not patience, but perseverance. Even if you hate your project and think it's ugly and not worthy of existence, if you keep at it, it will eventually get finished. After a few months of it sitting in a corner or under the couch where you threw it in disgust, you will find it and have forgetten all of the rage that you had once directed towards your now-lovely, completed project.

I don't know if that approach works for me (I don't forget), but fortunately, I haven't reached any major rage towards this project yet. The yarn and its tendency to knot and behave like a shapeless blob, however...
