Michelle ma belle, sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,

Tres bien ensemble

Focus, or Lack Thereof

6/15/2011

5 Comments

 
Rarely, I am able to hold my focus long enough to execute a complete process. Displaying my monthly FO's might present an illusion that I am a capable task master; the truth is, I have a firm enough grasp on my own instability to know: I am distracted easily, flighty, and too restless to commit to any single project at a given time. I need variety, and I need it constantly. Or, I get bored. (I think this personality trait plagues many knitters...not sure about sewers...thoughts?) Hence, the tri-fold project plan. I try to defeat my own wit by dividing my attention to three separate, uniquely stimulating projects each month in order to curb my wandering mind and keep myself en route.

What I didn't factor in was my inability to direct my own motives of need over those of want.

Within hours of laying my June sweater to block, I had pulled piles of yarn from my cubbies and cast-on... something new. I suppose the error of self-psychoanalysis is that the psyche will always be one step ahead of any attempts to tame it.

I always chalk it up to being a Capricorn, but yes, my problem is I like the planning and the preparation as well as the finish but sometimes get bogged down in the doing. So what's a girl to do? I personally always plan and prepare another project of course. I've got them all over the place.

OMGosh, that is so me! Distracted easily is mainly my problem! I also get bored with what I'm working on, thus a new project begins!

I can sooo relate to that! In fact I've just gone online because I'm bored knitting what I'm knitting... despite loving the yarn and eventual object!
I think I may be about to start yet another project!

I blame yarn deliveries ;-)

It's nice to know I'm not alone with the inability to focus. I'm constantly going from one project to the next. My biggest problem is finishing them.

See my problem is that I have a ton of yarn that I love and a bunch of patterns that I also love but I have no idea which yarns would be best suited for what pattern. Then I just get frustrated that I can't make up my mind. I need someone to "tell" me what to knit and with what.
