Not resolutions, revelations. I confess, most of my knitting
projects experience a minimum of four false starts. Cast on. Frog back. Cast
on. Tear it out. Cast on. Tink (non-knitters- tinking is knitting
spelled somewhat backwards and means knitting in reverse).
Knitting revelation #2: I
have quite a collection of beautiful yarns languishing in my stash that didn't work out despite numerous project attempts. Eventually that
yarn will meet the right pattern and create the perfect match.
Now here's another
knitting confession, and Ravelry made me do it (non-knitters, Ravelry is the
equivalent of Facebook for knitters, with half a million members). Tonight, as I was checking out the Ravelry Scottie dog group I moderate, I discovered a new group 
called the New Year's Cast On. Here's the description: "This is a group for those of us that are celebrating the new year by
casting on a new project. Cuz we all know the other 18 or so aren't
enough."
I
have no business starting anything right now, but hey, if the shoe fits…I'm in and if you're interested, I'm sure there's room for more. Stay tuned for a future post to see the outcome of my New Year's revelation Ravelation, which involves yarn and a pattern, the products of previous failure.
So, to all of you, knitters and non, readers and lurkers, those with resolutions or not, best wishes for a New Year with hope for a better future.
