complete outfit using the gray wool, but that
my idea was still intangible? Well, I've been
browsing to look for some patterns and finally
I've bought these booklets. They are full of
lovely patterns!
Berroco Booklet #281 and Norah Gaughan Vol. 3
But I know myself quite well, that I'm not discipline
to follow a pattern thoroughly. So I start with
another wool - it's the same quality as the gray
one, but in olive. I'm a coward, I know :P
I've chosen a sweater model: Crotona. I love
the shape, but like I thought, I start to change
the pattern as soon as I start to knit.
First I wanted to make this pattern only on the
border, but then I couldn't decide the wide of the
border. I kept on knitting, opening and knitting
again *sigh* Finally I thought I should make it
thoroughly. I actually really love the texture,
when I look at it from near. But as I tried it in
front of a mirror with a little distance, I started
to think differently - aaarghhh!!! So, I continued
to change the pattern and now I don't know either
I like it or not :(
I really don't know, if I will ever manage to finish
it *sigh* It would be too pity, if I don't, as I have
some really nice buffalo horn buttons. Normally I
don't like horn as material, but they are so beautiful,
I felt in love with them immediately.
Oh well, that's the result when a beginner wants to
knit like a master :P Maybe I'll open the whole piece
again and start from the beginning. Do you think,
I've learned from the past then? ;)

Hehehe you and I are so alike in this respect. Not being able to follow a receipe but then not masterful enough to get it right in one go. That is why I always have to make 10 of each thing, so in the end I have it prefected..
Sometimes it is hard to finish a project, hope you manage to finish this one :)
I think you should finish the project and have fun with it! It looks already so cool!

Oh my... I think back home at my mom are still some started knitting projects from me *lol*
I never was patient enough for knitting big pieces - but I hope you'll do better than me :)
I think it looks great already! I´d finish it ....and if you don´t like it.....you could always send it to me...hehe
ah Devi, I know the problem, I cannot follow a pattern too; never do, always changing... But the model of this jacket looks gorgeous and the colour of the wool is beautiful. And those buttons !!!!!!!! wow. So, you should give it another try I think.
Very recognizable story, although i can't even follow (understand) a pattern! It looks very professional allready, in my point of view!! :)
a very unique situation hahaha! The yarn looks lovely and the buttons too, it would be a shame not to finish it :)
I am the same type...always want to do it my way and not willing to restrict myself to a specific way of doing it. It can of course make things dificult for us, but can also lead to new and unexpected results :-)
smiles, I can relate to you Devi!
Thank you also for your lovely comments on my blog. I look forward to learning more about you as I follow along reading your blog x
I agree with Dindi on this one! ;)
I love the coat-like vest on the last picture! Wow! :)
A beginner, no way! It's fabulous, love the color and the buttons too!
