The Red Buds Are Abloom
It's getting warmer. Knitting is getting harder. I never get tired of knitting, but I'm having some motivation issues. I hope this post will serve as an impetus to finish something I've put to the side for a while. If you check out the list of what I've knitted over the winter, maybe you'll see what my problem is.

So... What's missing? That's right, a glove. Somehow it only took NINE tries for me to loose interest in this pattern. Tenacity? No, more likely it's a sign of insanity. The time has come. I've got to finish it. It will be a good thing to do while I waiting for more yarn to come in the mail.
The moment I lost motivation coincides with the day it became too warm to wear gloves. It's a confusing time for any knitter. Spring is so inspiring for creative people! Unfortunately, the irony of this particular brand of creative is that it's so darn warm. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.
I actually really like this pattern. I originally designed it so I would have something to do over our Christmas trip home to Oklahoma. I wanted something bright and cheery to light up the winter doldrums. Whenever I think of this glove pattern I remember sitting on my Mother-in-law's couch drinking cup after cup of coffee with my dear old friend Elise. Ahh, the good times!

Let's hope that since I wrote it down, I'll feel responsible to finish it. I know what I'll be doing this weekend!
