#10. Epiphany!

After several weeks of frustrating knitting, I finally realized something.  I don't have to work on something that I am not enjoying knitting.  I don't have to struggle through each stitch wishing it was finished so I could move on to something else.  I don't have to knit round after round; all the time worrying if the intended recipient is even going to like or appreciate it.

I do have quite a number of projects that I am working on.  Some of them I am making just because I fell in love with the pattern or the yarn.  Some of them are from various classes that I have taken and haven't finished the project yet.  Some of them are for me, but a number of them are intended as gifts.  I have to admit that some of those gifts don't even have intended recipients yet.  I just think they would make a nice gift.  Someday.

Because of my epiphany - I am putting away the pink tank top that I have started at least 4 times.  I am going to work on some of the other projects I have on the needles.  Or maybe I will start another project.  I am going to knit something that is more enjoyable.

It's all up to me.  And it is okay.
