It's a good day to stay inside and get some neglected chores done. Or I could just to sit here and list all the reasons why I'll never be a knitting designer:
1. I only want to please myself. My gd was less than impressed with this (unfinished) cardi for her. Even when I told her it would have buttons on the points. It's 'too small' because it has 3/4 sleeves and only comes to her waist. I sort of knew her opinions before I started, too. How slow a learner am I? I also hope I'm over this point obsession.
2. I'm too lazy to write down the pattern directions for stuff I think up. I had only limited success sharing my 'two-at-once baby socks with Deb because I couldn't remember my pattern. If I'm going to teach anybody, I had better write it down.
3. There's so many very nice patterns that others have designed that I want to knit. This T-top has taken forever because I was working on Project Yarnway designs. I'm taking the summer off from that and trying to concentrate on finishing what I've started.
Not too many reasons but each one is a deal-breaker.
Time to get some of those chores done now.
I love that last top, It's beautiful!! Perhaps you get too many things going at once? But all your color choices are just so lovely, I bet your house is beautiful inside because you have such a good eye for pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteI like the sweater for your gd, but I know how picky girls can be. And I really like the last sweater, lovely color. Hope you enjoyed the rainy day.
ReplyDeleteI love the little pink cardi! Show your gd some fashion photos with just such a cardigan. That will change her mind!
ReplyDeleteGinny - my eye for pretty colors doesn't translate into good interior decoration. Not my thing at all. Of course, with enough yarn stashed around, it soon becomes the decor.
ReplyDeleteRose - yes, it's a case of knowing what she likes, for sure.
Rudee - she's only 6 and we're trying to keep 'fashion' out of her life for a while. I think it's more about her definite sense of what is right.
