As I was writing the
\nentry about my current sweater design effort<\/a>, I surprised myself by
\nreaching the tentative conclusion that I should rip the whole thing
\nback (frog it) and do something more compelling with the lovely
\nyarn.   I really had not thought about that before sitting
\ndown and writing out the text.  It was an interesting revelation
\nthat had to be considered.<\/p>\n

I reflected on it for a couple of days.  And, I reviewed my very
\nold blog entry (see here, and scroll down to “Knitting Broccoli”) about
\na previous effort that I slogged through and eventually had to
\nfrog.  I compared the projects.<\/p>\n

In the end — I think I will not<\/span>
\nfrog the current design effort, at least not yet.  While I am not
\nwild about the colour combinations, I do feel I am still committed
\nenough to the project that I am checking important things like length
\nand other measurements.  I am not at all convinced that there is<\/span> a different pattern of these
\nsame colours that would really cause me to whip through a sweater
\nproject at this time.    I’ve been travelling — travel
\nprojects make better progress.  Quelle surprise.  I do still
\nbelieve I will be happy to wear the resulting sweater if I just finish
\nit, AND I believe that I am making progress (albeit slow) towards
\ncompleting it reasonably.  That’s a really long-winded way of
\nworking my way to the point that I
\nthink my biggest problem is that I am not spending much time on large
\nknitting projects at home, and ANYTHING is going to take a long time to
\ncomplete.<\/p>\n

Somehow, that didn’t stop me from buying 6 skeins (a sweater’s worth)
