It is fun though. I look forward to those rows, and I suppose one could say that art is imitating life.
When I drop the stitch, because of the yarn I am using, it doesn't unravel on its own. The stitch needs help with a push and pull on every row as it ladders down. The fabric is stable on either side of the dropped stitch so it doesn't lose its integrity.
I am going to enjoy wearing this shawl. It will remind me that even though I have moments, days, and sometimes weeks of dropping stitches of my life that doesn't have to mean that things have to completely unravel.
It can, if I let it.
However, I have the tools, and the support around me to stop the unraveling, and perhaps even pick that stitch up and get it back on the needles to carry on.
The shawl is looking qood and that's a great analogy you quoted.
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting. Does the unraveled stitch travel all the way down to the first row? I love your life-application. It is very true.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours, technique, and what the other ladies noticed.
