I agree – the sideways fair isle is exciting to see!

I love reading about your design process. Am so happy to find your blog!

Thanks for part II…it all still remains quite fascinating! I have many projects that are loooong-term…most of these are art-related (either pencil or colored-pencil drawings) and self-esteem highs (well, high-ish) and lows tend to dictate when I work on them and when I don’t. I have one in the works for my dad that was started over a year ago and I haven’t had the courage yet to finish it.

Mel, this is so cool, and very inspiring! I like the idea of making official submissions, because sometimes for me, having a deadline can act as accountability to finish, but on the other hand, this is still not my day job, right? It’s supposed to be enjoyable. I’m having a good time working my way through my project that I’m thinking of submitting next month, but if I miss the deadline, really – it’s about all of this process that you talk about above.

I love the square collar! hope this will be part of your finished design. and I hope you’ll tell us when it’s up for sale!

Yes, but my long-term project is sewing rather than knitting, and its failure to materialise is more a reflection of the state of my self-esteem than my time or willingness to pursue it. The fantasy part of my brain just refuses to understand that I am not 5’6″ and 120 lbs, so it designs accordingly, and it all ends in tears.

But your swatches are lovely and I am looking forward to the end of the story!
