I’m not going to lie – I am avoiding finishing Blaze. To finish it means that I may have to deal with a huge failure. It means I put tons of time into something that wouldn’t come out well (just like jury duty). I am in denial. I do know that if I just finish the stupid thing I can block it and maybe get somewhere. It can be good. I Just have that feeling in the pit of my stomach that it will not be OK. Ugh.
I’ve been doing everything else in the meantime. I’ve finished all 5 hats I wanted to make for Kristy:
Plus a washcloth for myself (at least that was something I worked on before I began avoiding Blaze).
And I am thinking about casting on some dishcloths for my sister in law. Maybe a few more hats for Kristy. Maybe I am going to cast on Clapotis…if I can figure out what yarn to use…
Things that I would rather do today than find out Blaze was failure:
- Clean the bathroom
- Sterilize the kitten room in phaze 1 of Operation: Obliterate the Ringworm
- Organize my entire office (wow, that’s a big one…)
- Step in a fresh (or heck, let’s go with cold and gooey) pile of cat vomit
I think you get the idea. You know what – I’m going out there right now to face my fear. I’ll graft the arms, wash the shirt, and pray. At least it will be over with.

and if Blaze can’t be salvaged, you can always open a flea circus and use it as the big top tent!

Not helping.
