So as I started my

So as I started my swatch for Becky’s swatch project (WONDERFUL idea), something occured to me. I have knitting books filled with stitches and techniques that intimidate the hell out of me. For no good reason. I mean…the worst that happens when you try something new is that you have to rip it out and try again. And eventually you get it. So what’s so scary about a little bit of texture or color work?

The plan at the end of this great revelation? I’m going to use my odd ball stash to start to swatch like crazy. I’m going to work my way through every stitch and pattern and technique that scares me until I’ve conquered them all. Maybe impossible but worth a try, anyway. At the end I’ll have a patchwork quilt of yarny conquest. Can’t beat that. 🙂

Happy Monday, folks. It’s a lovely day to try something that scares you for no good reason.
