Months into knitting the viral Project Hail Mary fox jacket and I’m struggling with motivation, drowning in yarn ends, and questioning my relationship with intarsia.
When you’re not enjoying a project and feel like it’s “work”, you don’t rush to sit at the end of the day to work on it.
I’m far from excited about working on this jacket at all the times of day.
However, I can’t say I hate it because it’s still knitting; I’m still making something from nothing. But the dread I feel about weaving in all the ends is very real.
I actually went on Ravelry the other day to check out all the projects. There are so many! I’m honestly shocked that so many people undertook this. (I bet Mary Maxim is pretty pumped at the influx of business.). I’ve been reading the comments and have to laugh – so many knitters feel the same about this intarsia jacket.
I’m also trying to figure out how to tell another friend that I really, really don’t want to knit a second one of these. Do I have that awkward conversation now, or do I stay quiet and hope he forgets he ever asked?
