Well, it's the last full week of the month, and I've finally completed the third project in my "nearly completed" challenge.I must admit, much of this past week has been spent working on another project and, at times, nothing at all.
My vigor has started to subside a bit. It's been a long time since I've wanted to start a new project so badly. In fact, there were a few times I thought about starting something new and giving up this venture for a little while. I probably would have too, if I had figured out what to start.
But then I saw this rug. It's been moving around my living room for months, getting in the way. Plus the pattern is worked with three balls of each color, so there was a lot of yarn taking up space. I only had to repeat the pattern one more time, so I tracked down my pattern book and set to work.
The first row I did looked wrong, but I kept doing it and even finished it off. Then I consulted my pattern and realized what I was doing wrong, so I had to rip out that whole row and start over. There's something to be said for completing a project without taking a break...less ripping out.
My final "nearly done" project, a purse I started for Easter two years ago, is nearly complete, but has had a few snags along the way. Perhaps it too will be completed before the month is over. Until then I'll enjoy the items I've already finished.
Happy crafting!
