I'm also a ruthless ripper - if it doesn't satisfy me, if knitting it doesn't make me happy, I rip it and move on. There are enough things in life that we have to do even if they are unpleasant, but knitting isn't one of them!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862784896982818464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28303457.post-47245354562829812592007-09-21T11:10:00.000-05:002007-09-21T11:10:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness, I've been that way about recent ro...Oh my goodness, I've been that way about recent romances. If they don't capture me in the first 10 pages or the heroine is hideously annoying, the book is literally trashed. There's too many other fun things in life to do without enduring self-inflicted torture.<BR/><BR/>Without being too snarky, the Not-a-poncho has soured me on knitalongs for a while. Jane IS an artist, but has so many irons in the fire, she's left us hanging. I'd commented something on her site, she said she'd continue with the poncho, then nothing for two MONTHS. I'm going ahead and finishing the darn thing, just because I loathe unfinished projects.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500816920855712513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28303457.post-69752981854721079402007-09-20T17:33:00.000-05:002007-09-20T17:33:00.000-05:00Couldn't agree with you more!!

I slogged through Beowulf for the same reason. Now I read what I love and don't feel the need to justify it. Nice thing about knitting, if you unravel, it's still nice yarn : )Elysbethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428524658330118134noreply@blogger.com
