A quote from The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

I ran across this quote the other day while reading this book. It was so appropriate to where I am at on several levels. I am not a knitter but the wisdom of this book still applies.

starting again


Every knitter has a sweater left unfinished; the bags of bits and pieces stashed away and never picked up again. And why? A change in fashion? A change in season? If that was so, you'd just pull out the stitches and use the yarn for something new. No, there's a secret hope that makes you hold on, to dream that you'll get it right someday, that you'll go back and take it up again and it will finally come out right. That this time all the pieces will fit. The mistake is waiting until you feel renewed enough to give it another try. You simply have to pick up the needles and keep at it anyway.
