Grudge, uh, Knitting

Ever get to that spot in a project when you want to set the dang thing on fire? Where it takes soooooo long to get a round done that it seems that you've lost half a day? Does it feel like even though you've put the highest amount of concentrated effort into this work of art, like, "That's it, I'm sitting here until I get at least half way to the end..." it never seems to get any closer to finished? Ever happen to you? Well, it's happened to me. If it wasn't for the fact that this sweater is already a favorite even though I haven't actually worn it yet...I've thought about wearing it, what I look like, what jeans will go perfectly with it, what I'll say to my friends who say, "oooh what a lovely sweater, where did you get it?"...if it wasn't for all that, I really would be tempted to take the needles out and give it to the cat (you know she's been eyeballin' it--sleeping on the dry cleaning pile isn't nearly as romantic as sleeping on a pile of almost finished Manos Del Uruguay Pinwheel Sweater) Still, I trudge on, and on, and on.....
Don't look at me like that...
