Did you ever feel that it was just time for a project to be "done"?
This is my Beaumonde scarf (
Rav link)...or at least, maybe it is. It might be my Beaumonde cowl/neckwarmer. I ADORE this yarn, and I LOVE the way the pattern looks, I'm just a little tired of knitting it. It's been in progress for 2 years...I used to knit it on MARTA before I got my Kindle. It's not even a difficult knit. Maybe I just want to start something new.
What do you think? Hang in there for the full scarf, knowing I'm only about 30% done, or end it with some stunning buttons...like, about now?
wow it is so lovely xx
ReplyDeleteI think it is beautiful, but if this is as far as you've gotten in two years, I think it just might be beautiful as a cowl rather than a scarf.
ReplyDeleteIt could always be one of those ongoing projects that will get done one day & be fantastic! Of course it could also make a great cowl. I'm not much help, am I : )
ReplyDeleteIf you stick it out a bit longer you can have an infinity with amazing buttons. That's another option.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, i have great admiration for knitters who can do such intricate patterns. I'm voting for whatever you choose, both would be nice - although i am a believer in 'if you are not enjoying it -stop!'
ReplyDeleteI think this would look really great as a cowl! It would be easy to accomplish too; just seam the ends together or add button loops to the bind-off edge.
ReplyDeleteKnitting is supposed to be fun. If you're sick of it, it's not fun, so add on the final rib with some button holes and make a neckwarmer/cowl.
ReplyDeleteEnd it now. It's enough for a cowl and will do quite nicely as one. Soooooooo many projects, soooooooo little time - just move on. :)
ReplyDeleteEND IT, END IT, END IT!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWanna know what I really think? HAHAHAHAHA
Well, it is absolutely beautiful and would make a glorious scarf! But I also understand no longer being in love with a project and just wanting to be done with it, especially when you can still turn it into something useful. (That wasn't helpful, was it?)
ReplyDeleteOooh finish the scarf! But I know what you mean sometimes its just a project's time to be "done"!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dani....finish the scarf! I'm working my way through a rib stitch scarf which has been on the needles for a couple of years.I'm working on mine for an hour a day and working on other projects in between. We could egg each other on!
