Episode 3: I broke up with the yarn

I have learned about myself that after I have completed a pattern I don't want to see it again. It's like a bad breakup. I have spent time loving  that yarn and pattern. I have cursed it and turned away from it. So, I enjoy the journey but not the destination. Giving away my finished objects really fits my style. I am still holding out hope for socks. Maybe that will break my bad breakup habit.

On the hook:   I haven't touched it. I am experiencing a case of monogamy knitting.

On the stix:  I did wash and block the summer tee sweater. But I am still not loving it. 
I have started another vanilla sock. I am using a beautiful blue/green Knit Picks sock yarn.  It is just past the rib pattern. I have been unable to break away from my sock knitting. The love affair is still in the honeymoon period. 

Waiting for empty needles:  I still haven't decided on a shawl pattern. I have collected so many that I am making is harder to make a decision. I prowl Ravelry too often.

Sewing: lacking mojo again

Needlepoint: stuffed in the craft closet collecting cat hair

Finished Objects:  This is a dragon washcloth I made for my daughter. It was quick and challenging pattern. It is free on Ravelry.
