*Sigh*

I am finished.

Well, almost finished.

I'm doing the neckband now and expect I'll be done it tonight.

But I'm not happy.
FAR from happy.
A bit closer to sad, really.

I think I sized it wrong. I probably could have fit a small.
The shoulders are AWFUL. Plain, terribly so, awful. I'm sure I didn't do it right. I'm sure I didn't even know what I was doing. I'm sure they make me look like a square football player.

They have points. The damn shoulders have POINTS.

Phil says, "You can't win them all."
I say, "I'd like to win at least one!"

I know, I know. I have some successful pieces to my credit.
I am just easily discouraged, and right now, I am just that.
I am going to keep going.
I am going to finish it.
And goddammit I am going to wear it. Boxy shoulders and all.

I will wear it.
I will enjoy it.
I will be warm.

Now will I tell anyone that *I* made it?
I dunno.
I'm just not proud of it!

Proud that I finished - yes!
Proud of the finished product? No.

Oh well.

Next will be Hannah's sweater. Hopefully it will go quickly and easily. She graduates June 25, and you just cannot trust Alberta weather.

Ha, like it even matters. She's wearing a gown.

Oh well.

I've also decided on what Vanessa is getting (so cute - ruffled wrap style sweater).
Liam's get an army coloured v-neck ribbed pullover.
The two boys (Patrick and Isaac), I am still undecided - but I'm thinking I may try a train sweater.

Or maybe they'll get army too!


See. Chin up. Bigger worries, anyway.
There's always something...
