Cardigan - Current Status or Final Status

[wayfaringwordhack]

I did finish the cardigan before Turkey--the body and sleeves, not the collar and pockets--but I decided not to take it on the trip because I was aggravated by how long the sleeves turned out.  My aggravation was particularly self-directed because I KNEW!!!!! that they would be too long and I did not listen to myself.  Oh, I listened enough to leave off the three rows from the pattern, but I should have left off closer to 10.  No joke.

So now I must roll the sleeves to wear it.  Part of me wants to unstitch the sleeves, frog the extraneous rows, then re-attach them.  The lazy, frustrated part of me wants to stitch the cuff so that I don't have to constantly roll it.  The verdict is still out on what I shall do,

However, I have been wearing the cardigan around despite not yet finishing the collar and pockets.  With the move, and the more satisfying blanket* project to work on, I don't feel too inclined to pick up the cardigan right now.

* I purchased yarn to make a throw blanket at the same time I got the skeins for the cardigan.  The yarn is so nice to work with, and the simplicity of the stitch ( moss stitch, also known as granite or seed stitch) makes it a very mindless, relaxing project.  I started last Saturday and should finish it today.  So afterwards, there will be no crocheting excuse not to finish up my cardigan. :P

Maybe you've done enough on the cardigan. Time to move on. Just stitch it so you don't always have to roll up the sleeves and 🎶 Let it go, Let it go! 🎶

That sounds wise to me. :P

That must be one of, if not the, world's most flexible songs. :)

You have to just embrace it--it's good for SO MUCH.

It sure is! I like the idea of letting go of what's holding you back and keeping you from growth and enjoyment of life.

LOL

Your comment reminds me of how many times I have a tiny snippet of a chorus or verse that plays in my mind in accord with whatever I am experiencing at the moment. And it make sense in my head because I am NOT referencing the whole song; if I try that, it all falls to pieces. Many are the times I paraphrase Inigo and say (to others), "I don't think that song means what you think it means." :P or "If you were really paying attention to the lyrics, would you be belting it out like that?" o.O

So very yes.

Some songs are quite startling when investigated, for content or even lack of.
