I've been unfaithful.
I've tried so hard to stay true to this relationship, to commit to my one and only. But maybe what they say is true, and that familiarity really does breed contempt. But you're so lovely, though, and it's not like I don't ever want to see you ever again. I just need a break, something new and exciting. Just for now. It's my fault for straying, and now there's not just one, but two others. Who knows what'll happen in the future? I may return to you, if you'll have me back...
Anyone else have this problem? You're working on something, and you promise yourself that you'll finish it this time - no interruptions, no getting bored and shoving it in a corner, no two or three other projects all competing for attention.
Then, halfway through (more or less), you pick up a different skein of yarn, or a yard of exciting new fabric, and you just have to start working with it. RIGHT. NOW.
So you drop the other project, and start fooling around with your new fling...

Then along comes another fancy-pants project that catches your eye, and suddenly, you've got two other little bits on the side that demand your time and attention.
So yes, I do have three items on the needles right now. With a fourth one that I just finished blocking. All these in the last three days. And my fingers are already itching to start making a new apron. What a slut! I should be ashamed.

I do this all the time, I have a basket for my WIPs even, when I complete one though, I feel much better :)
ReplyDeleteAt least you're organised! Mine are just lying all around my room :(
ReplyDeleteHe, he, he, I've definitely been there. Got a few projects still tucked away that I never quite got finished with.
ReplyDeleteAhahah....ha. I wish this ever even once DIDN'T happen to me, but I can't seem to focus on a project unless I have another one I'm not doing!
