i finished....

I wonder why we procrastinate? There are some things that are worth procrastinating about, like the dishes, the laundry, the garden... but my question is really about why do we procrastinate about our knitting??? Why, when there is only one thumb left to knit do we postpone knitting that thumb? ... Why is there the "one sock syndrome?" Why don't we sew on the buttons for that goregous cardigan? The simple answer... i don't know, but i am good at it.

Could it be that we wait because we don't want to finish? Could it be that we wait so, that on a long endless weekend, we can boast about finishing 3, 4, maybe 5 projects? Could it simply be that we tire of the yarn, that pattern, that project? There must be a simple answer, but i don't know...

Do you?

i care

My friend Ruth is ill. I should say, our friend Ruth. She has cancer. She is a quilter. We needed to take care of her the best way we could, to hug her and hold her and to let her know we love her. We made her this quilt. We made it for our friend Ruth. We are her friends from the Tompkins County Quilters guild. It's our hands and our hearts letting her know how much we love her and to hug her tight!
