no KAL

Posted on June 27, 2012 by annieblog

I made a decision last night. I am NOT going to do the Knitting Daily KAL for the Pan-Am Jacket. Here is why.

I had been reading the forums. I still hadn’t received my yarn, but I was totally catching up on the forum and taking notes. Anyway, there are many frustrated people on these forums. Many. They are stressing about the pattern. So, I continued to take notes and hope that I would be able to conquer the pattern.

I had bid on the perfect yarn via ebay. Well, I won the bid. Then the seller contacted me to say she didn’t actually have the correct amount of yarn. She made a mistake. She offered to cancel the sale. So, I had her cancel the sale. Then I made a decision. Maybe I’m not supposed to do this darn thing. Maybe I’m supposed to just work on my current project and call it good.

So, I unsubscribed from the forum and guess what? I felt relief! Relief! I had no idea I was even stressed about doing this. But, the relief tells me that I was indeed stressed. So, I am happy with my choice.
