ooo I remember me procrastinating weaving my ends and it didnāt take as long as I thought, the procastation was however longer lol
One time, I was making this rainbow top that demands changing color for every stripe⦠it took me hours to weave in the ends. Yeah nope, next time Iāll weave in as I go only made that mistake once⦠Now I always weave in as I go.
I have mentioned my finishing basket (I put my work in there and Iām not allowed to start any new project if itās full, until I empty it) this came about because I had a sweater that needed seaming⦠My absolute least favorite thing, I dreaded this task for over a year. Finally, after gentle bullying from my knitting group, I sat down to seam up this sweater, only to find that I had already seamed it up, I just needed to weave the ends.
10 years: the amount of time procrastinated sewing stars
Unknown: the amount of time to actually see those stars (probably 2 hours based on the 1 or 2 I did already)
Zero: the desire I have to stop procrastinating and finish this blasted blanket because I hate sewing appliques that much!
Oh man, I have so done that! Got so mad at myself when I realized the blasted thing was seamed!
Now Iām finding I actually donāt mind seaming as much (still not preferred though)
since then, I have learned to convert to seamless, and then how to draft my own shell formulas that I can just stick any stitch design to. Like my socks.
Why is this so true?!
Literally, this morning I finished a pair of doll slippers and instead of weaving in the ends I just tied them in a bow and called them āshoe lacesā. I think it looks okā¦?
lol!!!
Genius!
