I'm knitting a hat for AJ. I thought i was going to use the same yarn I knit his pants out of (dark blue w/white flecks), and then decided to use a teal color because I have so much teal and no ideas for it. Teal does not go with the midnight blue. It looks dumb. So now I'm looking at a completely different hat than I pictured! And I dread frogging it now b/c it's partway complete.
I think my solution is to save the hat and pick more flattering colors to go with teal. Then I can just start a new hat with my original design.
this is what makes me a perfectionist--that hat has been glaring at me for 24 hours, daring me, "Whatcha gonna do about me?"
I'm so glad I have a plan. You know what they say, "proper planning prevents piss-poor performance." I heard that in my Bible study and it has stuck in my mind!
finish the hat in teal. you'll feel better with the project accomplished. you can always donate it to a craft fair or to a charity or save it to sell with other crafty items you make!
