Obstacles and Setbacks (A Masters Handknit post)

Swatch 14

I knew they were fragile.
I knew they didn't handle big changes in temperature and weather.
I knew they were old.
I knew hauling them around in the trunk was a bad idea.

But.....

There was so much else on my plate.

 

 

I think the knitting fairies are trying to tell me something. 

So....I'll just keep telling myself it's the process, not the destination.  In the mean time I have bought another pair of needles and will start this little dance of yarn and frustration from the top.  Never being anywhere for more than 3-4 days without having to travel again makes "best work" just that much harder - I'm currently settling for " Wow, I actually knitted a whole row" before having to attend to something or someone.  I'm all about brainless or simple knitting at the moment. 

 

Okay, I'm through whining.

 

Oddly, I think the frustration and setbacks are actually making me a better knitter in many ways - go figure.
