Maybe knipples?

Other times I realize I don’t want to finish at all due to issues with yarn, or pattern, or the combination of the two and I frog it. One of my fave sweaters is from a frogged project where the yarn was just wrong for that application. Listen to the yarn.

I think you made a good choice. That armscye is too much! Sometimes when I pull things back like that they sit in time out for a Long Time. Sometimes I realize when I go back that the problem wasn’t as big as I had thought, or I have mojo for that project again.

Agreed! I listen to loads of podcasts and audiobooks. Still my mind can wander. Maybe I need more interesting listening material, hmmm.

I think it’s contemplating the second one that compounds the feeling of boredom! ‘I have to do this all again!’ So it won’t be so bad the second time since I’ll be closer to finished.

I think if you're distracting yourself from the horrors of modern life they are *necessarily* complex cables, it's the complexity providing the distraction, no?
