    I only do what I want to do

    I haven't been on here for some time. Guess I needed a break from crochet. I did some attempts at knitting,but found myself more frustrated than pleased. After several attempts at finding projects I wanted to do,I came upon a ripple manghan for my son with black,zebra,and red cherry redheart. Guess I needed a no-brainer project. I find myself not doing projects because I feel I should do them,but only doing them because I want to.

    Hi. Good to see you back. You are right in feeling that when you are ready to do things because you want to do them and not because you have to. Once it becomes frustrating, then it is time to take a break and eventually things work out.

    Have fun with the manghan, colors combo sounds really cool. Post a picture when done? Thanks.

    You should do it because you want to do it --or it isn't any fun. That's why we crochet. There are a lot more things we have to do than doing things for fun.

    When a project for fun becomes a chore it is time to step away. I have done it myself more than once. You will know when the time is right to stop and/or begin again. Life is too short to squander our fun time! Happy New Year! imalefty
