I really hate letting people down. Especially when I know if I had just not procrastinated I wouldn’t have had this problem!
I failed to finish my afghan for Tricot du Coeur. I let other things (Thing-a-day and Project Superstar) take precedence and then in the three weeks I had left — which should have been enough — I was too poorly to do much knitting. Where I normally could do about 2 feet per day I was barely managing five inches. So that just sucks.
I really hate disappointing people. I also hate letting myself down and not being healthy enough to finish things in the amount of timethat normal people could do them in. t has made me promise not to craft to deadlines any more. I really exhausted myself trying to do this and now I’m really overstretched and our vacation is this week. 🙁
I’ve got to conserve what energy I have so that I will be alert and not a total drag for our week in Paris! I’m going to give the blanket to the girls of Project Superstar when I finish it. I think I will be able to finish it (except for sewing up) whilst away so I can just add it to whatever I buy for them there. SO it’s still going to a good cause, even if not the one I had intended.
I still feel crappy about it though 🙁
Yeah, that sucks. I’ve been there too many times to count. I’ve learned, though, that beating yourself up about it just makes you feel worse (both physically and emotionally). After all, feeling too crappy to knit wasn’t something you could control.
p.s. Paris? I’m awash in envy. it’s a gorgeous city and deserves every bit of energy you can save up.
