Like Pulling Teeth

I'm so bad at knitting for myself.  I always think I want to make myself something, but when I get started on a project it takes me months to finish it.

Case in point, this cowl.



I started it back in December and just finished it yesterday. It was a slow and painful process. I never wanted to work on it, when I did I couldn't get into the groove. I nearly did a happy dance when I bound off the last stitch, but since I was at the library I think that would have been frowned upon.

There are a lot of knitters out there who can knit for themselves, honestly I'm a bit jealous. I just can't, if I'm not knitting for someone it's never going to get finished.

Now that the cowl's finally finished, I'm itching get this new yarn wound so I can make Habibi two new hats.



Because a knitter's love can never have enough hats.
