Any idea what you’re going to do with the yarn now?

I loved the comment , I believe it was Gloria, to be kind to yourself. If you are “perfect” in eveything you do you will just annoy us mere mortals. Keep the csm as a someday project., a long term goal. They are terribly fun and I can do a no heel tube sock with the best of them, Can make a scarf as a longggg sock and fininh the heel/toe by hand. Good luck with the house and enjoy those adorable children. They truly get big too fast.

Sorry, I couldn’t find a way to comment on your previous post but I did enjoy others’ views. I think accepting that it’s okay to be bad at something is important in any new endeavor (even though I hate being bad at things!). If I’m trying a new art medium, for example, I get really impatient because I think I should be better than I am, even though I haven’t put in the hours to be good at it. Setting goals with little milestones helps to ease one into a new skill. For me, I feel like I need to use my brain more by reading harder stuff instead of what’s easy and unchallenging. Thanks for sharing what you’re reading–Quiet looks like an excellent book.

Thinking about your previous post, I would add that a trick to help you think your are succeeding even when you are failing is to re-focus your goal. Don’t say, “I want to make this sweater using this difficult skill” but rather “I want to try this difficult skill while possibly getting a sweater out of it.” That way your focus isn’t on a perfect FO, but on the process of learning the new skill.
