Does anyone have an irrational need to get knitted items off their needles as fast as possible? I feel, as a knitter, that it is my God given job to finish a project as soon as I can after I have started it. I'm not sure why I do this, but I will knit far too long and not take enough breaks just so I can finish something. This sweater is becoming the bane of my existence. I was fine with the back. The two front pieces didn't bother me. I started becoming more annoyed with the sleeves. I tried knitting them both at the same time and that ended as soon as the 5 inches of ribbing was knit. The second sleeve felt like a second sock, but I did finish it. Now, this where I keep asking myself... "Why in the hell did you decide you HAD to make a hoodie?" If you had made any other simple sweater pattern you would be done by now. But no I had to drive myself crazy and add a hood that I am still 3 inches away from being finished with... and the ribbing around the front(!) don't get me started. I'm sure there will be copious amounts of cursing coming out of my mouth when that begins. Geez. I think I really love knitting hats and crocheting granny squares. Those may be my knitting calling in life. yeah... I'll stick with the hats. :)
