The sane mind of a Knitter...really?

The inner workings of a knitters mind is very complex and interesting. Here is an example for you:
 
A knitter (not me of course ;) has a deadline for completing a project and knows that s/he will not be able to get it done. 
 

• A non-knitter would buckle down and commit to getting as much done as possible.
• The interesting part is what happens in a knitters mind. In acknowledgement of the missed deadline the knitter decides to spend valuable time going thru knitting books and patterns to find the perfect easy and QUICK project so that there is a new project completely different from the original to have by the deadline. Then spends an afternoon working feverishly to finish the QUICK project. Now the complex part of the knitters mind is that the knitter still has every intention of finishing the original project (now the second project) and giving it as planned when it is done.

So this example leads us to many questions, such as:

• Why start a second project?
• Why not give the original project to someone else?
• Why didn't the knitter commit to the quick easy project in the first place?
• Why the difference between a knitter and non-knitter?
• Why didn't the knitter plan the right amount of time for the project?
• Why not just forget the project and act like it never existed?

I do have to say that the baby hat came out great,

 

After all morning searching for the perfect easy and QUICK project, Preemie Beanie (page 13) in the wonderful knitting book easy as 1-2-3 skeins was it.

 

 

Now just a reminder that this is a completely normal thing for a knitter... so I fit in and am perfectly sane for making a last minute quick baby hat for my expectant friend and will ship here the baby blanket that I did not get done as soon as possible.

YEAH FOR SANITY.   HEHEHE!

Night and talk to you next time.

Happily and sanely knitting,

Victoria
