adventurous

Remember I told you I wanted to knit myself a
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!

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? ;)
