So with knitting I have learned it is ok to scrap a project that once seemed so very cool. In the beginning I was so enthusiastic but then something happened. The knitting infatuation dissipated and I am left with a new found resentment forming towards the project. That is where I have been at with the Komb (picture above) project.
So last evening I was pondering this Komb dilemma when I remembered the Mason-Dixon Knitting book and the Modern Log Cabin pattern. Bells rang and peace ensued within my knitting brain. I grabbed the yarn and needles and casted on this lovely. This project will be the mindless knit that I can grab when I want to read and knit at the same time. Gotta love garter stitch projects.I am going to use the same yarn set aside for the Komb that was sent back with me from Mom in New York earlier this year. I am going to make two of them for our bed covering. Which we bought a new bed this week omg. I woke up this morning for the first time in years without pain. :-)

Thank you for saying that it's OK to scrap a project if you aren't enamored with it any more. Those are just the words I needed to hear. I've been agonizing over finishing these God Awful socks (PSoD, if you read my blog) and just couldn't bring myself to get motivated to work on them. I just decided, they are officially DOA to me. Whoop!
I made my red/white/blue afghan from yarn frogged from another project that i absolutely began to despise and then didn't touch for 2 years. i feel no guilt!
Oof. I needed this. I have two projects that are haunting me.
