Then after some perusing on rav or looking through Interweave I find something that I have to knit RIGHT NOW. That's usually how I get it back, or going through my stash I find a yarn that begs to be have something started with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-88834663177655654342009-11-20T12:59:53.269-05:002009-11-20T12:59:53.269-05:00Yeah, it happens.

In this heartwarming tale, senior-citizen Sadie submits 50 of her highly original knitting patterns to an ailing publishing firm, and the course of her life changes. Not only is her book published, but Sadie becomes the peoples' darlingRobert Kimmel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617307791922454962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-19723990783279102512009-11-18T21:01:40.897-05:002009-11-18T21:01:40.897-05:00What I'm working on I'm not happy with.

I'm way too far in frog and start over, and anyway, I know what will fix it; I just don't know HOW TO DO what will fix it. <br /><br />My spinning is a disaster because it knows that I'm using it as a way of Kitten With a Whiplashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398822257651862516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-12918814513217985862009-11-18T19:54:49.671-05:002009-11-18T19:54:49.671-05:00Happens to me all the time.

So, I get bored, irritated, etc., and just stop. :)<br />blessings<br />~*~Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997549543731061699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-5768405163840078942009-11-18T18:37:04.904-05:002009-11-18T18:37:04.904-05:00Let it ride- many times I'll do a project I kn...Let it ride- many times I'll do a project I know I've had success with- another stuffed toy or a pair of socks- a Brooklyn Tweed scarf.

I think just make yourself pick up your needles next time your sitting in front of the tv with nothing to do and swatch for something, that should get it back - i'm going to try it myself tomorrow night! :)Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386723584767376866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15394728.post-61943267973396960862009-11-18T16:43:51.201-05:002009-11-18T16:43:51.201-05:00I think this happens to everyone.
