Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2010 2:33 pm Post subject: I'm procrastinating |
|
|
I have to pick up a butt load of stitches. Picking up a butt load of stitches is not my favorite part of knitting. I love how it all looks when it's done, but I dread the picking up part of it all. So, either talk to me and help me procrastinate longer, or tell me to quit whining and get on with it.  _________________ ~Lisa~

Although I really do sympathize because I hate picking up stitches too, I'm going to tell you to stop procrastinating and just do it. When I've got a bunch to do, I just have to tell myself that procrastinating isn't going to get someone else to do it and won't get it done any sooner.
I can't bring myself to tell you to stop whining though because I would be whining too. Good luck!
ETA: Hope that sounds like the lighthearted response I meant it to and not mean.  _________________ Kristina, wife to Ben, homeschooling, SAHM to 5 beautiful kids.

I like this idea. I am one of the rare knitters who actually knits better when I drink because it makes me chill out and be able to concentrate. lol _________________ ~Lisa~

Offer yourself a reward for when you are done.
I often tell myself when I get to this stage I get to knit on my personal knitting for an hour or I get to read without knitting while I am reading or something like that. _________________ Becky's Paper Creations hc

You weren't kidding. That's a lot of stitches.
Definitely offer yourself a reward. You'll deserve it. _________________ Kristina, wife to Ben, homeschooling, SAHM to 5 beautiful kids.

No. But, I AM doing it tonight right after I take a shower. Angi came over and insisted I make her some radish earrings for a Harry Potter party she was going to. I wasn't even thinking about all the ends I had to weave in before I got to the picking up stitches part. It's a scrappy. I just did that. Now I'm waiting on Victoria to get tired and go to bed. Once I get started on this, I don't want to get interupted. _________________ ~Lisa~
