Something To Aspire To - 2KCBWDAY6

image title

For a while now I have been promising myself and telling everyone else that I would like to make a "proper" garment.  In other words something big to wear.  A top or even a cardigan rather than my normal socks/hat/shawl projects.  I even have yarn

and a pattern picked out ready.

Somehow though I always put off the casting on.  I haven't even done a swatch yet.  I do really, really want to knit a garment and to knit the Cowl Shell in particular.  It would be gorgeous to have to wear this summer and yet I still don't cast on.  And I'm not sure why.  I think I have a fear of not finishing.  Oh and also a fear of it all going wrong, of me spending hours and hours knitting only for it not to fit and for me to never wear it. 

So here I am ready with needles, yarn and the pattern and as spring speeds by I am still not knitting.  Ah well, maybe next year......
