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. lol3

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. lol Good luck!

ETA: Hope that sounds like the lighthearted response I meant it to and not mean. Smile

Oh man, I really do need to just do it. I have to picture how nice it's going to look when it's done AND the customer is waiting on it. This is seriously a LOT of stitches. Seriously, really it is.

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

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.

You weren't kidding. That's a lot of stitches.

Definitely offer yourself a reward. You'll deserve it.

No. Embarassed 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.

I'm done picking up stitches! Now, off to do 1x1 ribbing on all those stitches. Thankfully it's only a few rows of it. Then I'm done with the sweater except for sewing on buttons!
