What’s the…..

…rush? With knitting, I mean. Why rush from project to project, picking ones that are smaller and smaller so I can complete them faster? Well, I’m starting to get the idea that to keep up like this, I’m only avoiding learning patience. Really, when you think about it, what’s the difference between working on a project that takes a long time, like blocks for an afghan, instead of several scarves or hats?
Why is it so boring to work on one big project verses five little ones?
Patience is the key here. Mature patience that makes those big projects just as enjoyable as the little ones.
What do you think? I’d really like to hear opinions from other knitters out there.

Knitting has really taught me a lot about patience. I used to get upset if I made a mistake that required frogging, but now, I just view that as part of the process. My problem is that I see so many gorgeous yarns and patterns that I tend to have too many things on the needles.
There are so many yarns…so little time to knit them, right?
