I have spoken with many knitters who won't go near a plain, mostly stockinette-stitch sweater, as they feel (often from experience) they'll lose interest halfway through, or sooner. Even in a design with interesting details, the large expanses for st st for such folks can be deal-breakers.<br /><br />Now *I* can get to work on that "being afraid to rip out and re-do". But now that I have successfully ripped out a couple of fully finished projects, once I saw they weren't working, and realized yes, I really *can* re-use that yarn, maybe I will get this through my head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179481439332955442.post-64549538430082608912012-06-17T15:18:21.847-07:002012-06-17T15:18:21.847-07:00Taking back our power ....beautifully said!
