The wrap and I had really hit an all time relationship low. In fact I blame my turning to the Darkside entirely upon the wrap. Had it not let me down I would never have cast on those socks, and the scarf, and the sweater for the toddler (turned out super cute I must say) and the other pair of socks.
I took some time this last week to try and inventory what was going on between this wrap and I. Last Wednesday I swore at it during knit night! I was really losing it about the wrap. This is what I realized:
I mistakenly thought I would remain intrigued by the wrap because of its interesting shaping.
In fact the boring K5, P5 had more influence upon my mind than the “interesting shaping”.
I was immediately able to envision myself living in said wrap.
The weather is warming; I may not be able to wear it during the daylight for many months.
I was going to require only 3 balls of yarn to complete.
It is taking 6.
I have forgiven the wrap for not fulfilling all my expectations. I have forgiven myself.
It is no longer The wrap, it is My wrap.
I am knitting like I just cast on.
