The mittens I am working on "Deep in the Forest Mittens" from a pattern I bought on Ravelry, are seriously messing with my mind. The pattern is well written and clear...but I can't seem to make myself count every stitch while I knit...and to keep looking at the chart is really not fun for me. I am considering abandoning them...but that is even harder than abandoning a book midway through ( which I am also loathe to do).
"Trauma Farm" (despite its name) is very enjoyable...it brings back memories of all the farm animals I have had throughout my life (which is another post in itself).
I sure can relate about not being able to keep track of counting with patterns, but those mittens do look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI read Trauma Farm and enjoyed it very much.
Warm wishes,

I know what you mean about abandoning things. The list of books I never finished is less than double figures (though there are plenty where I wonder why I bothered finishing!) I have a couple of WIPs that I hate working on but rather than abandoning them, I have hibernated them. Ok, so it's the same thing, but it makes me feel a little better about it ;)
ReplyDeletetrauma farm. Sounds a little like when we tried it. We learned alot about life and death. The mittens look great but I too hate a project that keeps me staring at the pattern and ripping.....
ReplyDeleteI could do chart knitting before kids- now not so much. Maybe someday again!
