my friend w. has this great idea.
what i need, she says, is a knitting gps.
one built to respond specifically to situations like:
when i’m 3/4 of the way
through any given project,
have lost all motivation and still
refuse to even consider turning around;
when i’m blindly speeding ahead,
already 12 rows past missed increases, with no intention
of checking the directions in the foreseeable future;
when, yet again,
i ‘don’t have time’ to swatch
and will ultimately be so far off the
recommended gauge that abandoning
the project completely will be the only turn left to take;
when i am sure
that my memory will
retain the exact details of
the new pattern that i am brewing up
without my having to actually write it down…
such a device does not yet exist,
but i sure would get a lot of use out of it
if it did. think of all the wrong turn knitting mileage
that could be avoided. bet i could cast on 2 or 3 more projects
with all that extra time suddenly on my hands…
‘exist’ taken from 7:23-25 in ecclesiastes.
