I'm going to take some time this weekend and sit down with it, hopefully make enough progress that I'll feel motivated enough to want to see the finished product next week.<BR/><BR/>(Hugs)<BR/>KrisKris Patayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320345687952050944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057500525476109714.post-29632681737327508842008-10-02T19:41:00.000-04:002008-10-02T19:41:00.000-04:00I just found your blog from the dishcloth list.

I am so excited to make them for Christmas gifts. <BR/><BR/>I, too, understand the tedium of large knit/crochet projects. When I was younger and working on one of these types of projects, the project usually turned into the 'the incredible shrinking afghan'. Now, I have learned to put it down for a while, do something else, and then return to it later. Your work is so gorgeous that it is well worth the time you are putting into it. The recipient will feel very blessed to have a friend like you who cares about her so much that you put all this time into this beautiful work of art.spunkygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242065392327645295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057500525476109714.post-86566696919697960902008-10-02T08:46:00.000-04:002008-10-02T08:46:00.000-04:00Beautiful work!I understand how hard it can be to ...Beautiful work!<BR/><BR/>I understand how hard it can be to stay motivated to finish up a tedious project. I recently completed a Lace Leaf scarf. When I started the project, I was excited because it was my first time knitting with Malabrigo, and the scarf was going to be mine (a rare thing since I usually give away my work), however I became close friends with an online knitting friend who has a son who is going through burn treatments at a Shriner's Hospital. Her favorite color is green (same as the yarn I was using), her favorite yarn is Malabrigo, and she had this project in her Ravelry queue.<BR/><BR/>The project turned into a labor of love for her.<BR/><BR/>So whenever I got discouraged, thinking I would never be done with that scarf, and whenever I had to tink back, I thought about her and how surprised she was going to be. That made the project finally move along.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. Your work is GORGEOUS! It's sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face. Focus on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
