Coming along

Well, my goal for this project was to get my mojo back. Sure, I'd get a kiki sweater out of it, but really what I wanted was to rediscover the pleasures of knitting.

Both are coming along nicely, thanks. The sweater, when I fell asleep last night, was at 15 repeats of the lace. But this morning, I remembered that one of the most wondrous things about the art of knitting is the fact that every little tiny bit helps. I was pressed for time and therefore couldn't possibly complete a repeat before leaving, but who cares? I knit a row, and now that row is knit. I will be one row further along this evening when I pick it up again. Every little bit is a bit of the end.

Ahh. Now, I need to remember that it's not necessary to injure myself to get the FLS finished and won't it be better if I can pick something else up immediately after finishing. Yes.

I actually think that's been a stalling point for the big fair isle project after which this blog is named. I get wrapped up in the idea of the big-ness of the project and forget that every little bit is a bit of the end.
