Who’s idea was it to knit a garter stitch shawl collar?? The Cassette Tape Vest is finally near enough to completion that it looks like vest! I’ll never, ever, at least not this year, knit a garter stitch shawl collar again. It’s taking forever. I really want it to be finished though! I’m ready to be wearing it.
Also ready to knit with wool again…cassette tape + silk + mohair is not a gentle knit! This is part of the slow down, it’s tough on hands. I’m up to 8 balls of Silk Garden, so it’s getting a bit heavy as well. And I think I need to go to a 47″ cord. The 40″ is full…this whole project has become cumbersome. It’s graduated from a project bag to a full on tote bag all it’s own. SO MANY COMPLAINTS!
I very strongly dislike this project right now. I am super excited to wear it though, really! I am! I’m conflicted. I want to do it so it’s finished but I hate doing it. If I could just get it finished I’d be getting twice as much done. I’m doing a fair bit of procrastination at the moment. I could be knitting be right now but I’m not…

I tend to fall out of love with large projects, usually when they’re nearly finished and knitted a sweater once with garter stitch sleeves. I thought I’d go crazy before it was finished! Hang in there!

I was so gung-ho in the beginning! Six weeks seems so long ago now…to get a large project done in two months, is really not that long though. LOL!
