When it takes me this long to make something it's because I know, subconsciously, that it's not right and am reluctant to finish. Now I've made the decision to rip back and reknit it, I'm feeling much Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-34763655197243321012012-01-09T19:40:59.396+00:002012-01-09T19:40:59.396+00:00Oh no, what a pain!

However I do have a green cotton sweater that requires some 'grafting' to add a wee bit more length. Keep plodding on I say!
