I don't know why, but when someone approaches me with a request to make a specific pattern for a gift, it is always harder for me to knit. I feel like it should not be, but it is. Seems like I have to make myself do it. Often not getting done in time. Is it the loss of control, or creativity? I am suppose to be making this pattern for a baby gift. And cannot get my mind wrapped around this task. There I just called it a "task". It bothers me that I feel this way. It is a very pretty pattern, nice yarn. But I already find myself thinking "maybe I'll change the yarn, and the gauge, and the dimensions of the blanket. Hummmmm..... So needless to say I went to buy the yarn today and couldn't make myself. I instead started dreaming of other yarns to use, tweaking the pattern a little. And actually started thinking, well the person who requested it, doesn't knit, maybe they will not even notice if I change it. Was that my evil twin talking?
I have yarn and a spinning wheel. Ready to handle anything as long as I have my fiber along for the ride. Contact me at: knittingdragonflies at gmail dot com A blog about knitting and spinning. I also have a link list to tutorials for knitting spinning and a free knitting patterns link list.
