it was almost done.
just waiting for me to bind off
and for the zipper (more on that soon),
so i put it down for a day.
then, when i came back to it,
i wasn’t so sure.
this happens to me.
i can get so caught up in the forward motion
that i forget to step back, take a deep breath,
and give it a good hard look.
the color, the needle size and the ribbing i still love.
it’s the drama i think stepped into overkill.
big yarn, bright color, wide rib, big shape, heavy zipper…
you see what i mean.
so i ripped back to start again.
casting on a few less stitches and deciding
to work from the bottom up, instead of the from the top down.
if i’m gonna redo, i might as well redo in a big way.
here’s to new beginnings.
