The downside of large heirloom knitting.
knitting_keeps_me_sane, 00:18h
I have two "rosy knits" going on at the moment (my only WIPS, not counting the Taiwan Sock and some ripping candidates):
"Rosy Fingered Dawn" and "Rosebud Shawl". Both Shetland-type square shawls.
They are both stalled at roughly the same point, ca. 14 rows before the edging it knitted on, and I am really stalled. Dont know how to go on. The shawls are too large, my mind is too busy, it burns down, and I turn into bits and pieces on the inside. So many small steps I thought I had taken in the "good" direction are reversed and dont mean anything anymore. Most people would just tell me to "Get over it and start knitting", but I guess most people have a wholly different wiev on the world.
Knitting is not always good, but is like eating for me. You cant live without eating, but too much isnt good either and could kill you, if it goes out on an extreme tangent.
Have a nice day

PS: Lest you think I am not knitting, I did knit a pig yesterday, from Jean Greenhowes Knitted Animals book. Simple, legs, body and head in one piece, two arms, a snout and two large ears. I only have the embroidery for eyes left. I didnt knit it for any particular reason, other than that it comforts me, which seems as as good a reason as any.
