I wish but no lol. I didn’t have any other colors in that weight that would’ve looked good. It also seemed to jinx me for making myself sweaters, as I’ve tried 2 other times (and with different patterns) and haven’t yet finished one. When I make sweaters for other people I finish them no problem, but sweaters for myself are my nemesis bird.
Oh well, I suppose the silver lining is that our craft doesn't waste the materials so we can just use them for something else.
It's been two and a half years of banning myself from knitting shawls and in January I just decided to allow myself to try one for a very specific purpose. Funnily enough, it's using the grey that was rescued from this failed project and has just been sitting there since! Fingers crossed things go a bit better this time :D
You can do it!
I’ve learned new things with every attempt. I haven’t frogged my 3rd sweater yet. I’m working on other things while I decide what to do.
