life lesson from knitting #1

it would be sooo nice if i could finish one project without goofing it up. if you head over to the knittin' blog you'll see that my hat didn't turn out as well as i had hoped. i was beyond frustrated last night. punching somebody would've made for a nice release but bryan didn't look like he was going to volunteer to be the punchee and i'm against violence towards cats. but today is a new day and there will always be new projects to start on. i had my mini-meltdown-whoa-is-me moment last night and now i have to push those feelings to the side and bring a fresh set of eyes to the next knit.

in the end though, i realize that everybody messes a few things up. in my case, some more than others. if i didn't mess up i wouldn't have errors to learn from. i have to keep plugging along and remember that it will get better and easier. i guess the logical deduction to make here is that i should apply these little lessons to the bigger picture. there are always going to be bumps in the road, little mess-ups and things that work better the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time around. i'm thankful i have the mind to recognize this and pick myself back up to start over.
