Last gasp
Fourteen rows left to go:
Never has a sweater been so anticipated, and yet never has the urge to quit and make Tangled Yoke instead been so great…
The only thing that is keeping me going is your encouragement and the appreciative remarks of customers at the yarn shop who keep popping in when I am working on her and who are kind enough to say, “Oh, that’s so beautiful.”
This is, I imagine, just like being the frazzled mother of an adorable-looking three-year-old who has been throwing tantrums all afternoon, but has calmed down just in time for a neighbor to drop by and say, “Oh, isn’t she just an angel! What a cutie pie!”
Besides, I think people are primarily seduced by the beads. But then again, given that I am now knitting this sleeve for the excruciating second time, I’ll take what I can get.
I gets weary, and sick of tryin’…
Back to the needles, my friends. And if I know what’s good for me, I won’t look up until those fourteen rows are done…

And what did the little train say? I KNOW I can, I KNOW I can, I KNOW I can…
It’s going to be gorgeous! And the best thing, FINISHED, as in, off the needle and onto your body! Keep at it!

I have one of those toddlers. In fact I have two. Just hold your breath and smile. That’s what I suggest.

Keep going, you can do it! I’m a little late to post a comment… maybe you’re already done?

Think of how far you’ve come – 14 rows is next to nothing!!! Soon it’ll be 13, then 12, then less than 10 – then you’ll be finished!
