I'm pretty sure I've found my knitting sweet spot: the Shetland Triangle. I finished my 6th last week:
Febrillious
I finished my 5th a week or so before that:
Eire Shetland
Knitting this pattern smooths out all of life's rough edges.
It kinda bothered me at little that I wanted to knit this pattern again and again. There was a seven month gap between my second and third shawl. Real knitters knit new patterns, real knitters try new, more challenging projects. I felt the capital K in my knitting persona slip to it's lower case cousin, like a kid eating their sandwich in a bathroom stall after a month sitting at the cool kid's table.
Once I realized what I was allowing to happen, I wised up. It felt good facing up to my knitting superego and asking her to kindly shut her high falutin' trap.
