My knitting blues

There has been a serious breakdown of blogging thanks to a whole lot of work at home and office plus the virus that found it's way into the computer. Although it has been restored but now I am down with "self-pity" virus, a virus that strikes me every winter.

I love to knit or rather I love to see yarns take shape and become things beautiful and I believe a beautifully hand knitted piece is the best gift anyone can either receive or give. And I have been knitting this tiny piece of sweater since last winter and it is yet to be finished, my nephew is a year older but my sweater is not yet complete! Horrible performance!! I can definitely not knit no matter how much I would like to believe but why do I still get tempted, what is wrong with me? Why couldn't I have been given the most simplest of the talents ...to be able to knit...if so many people all over the world can knit why can't I? If Yan can, why I cannot? My husband tells me I should accept my folly and let Yan do all the knitting but he does not understand this is something deep seated. I think I need to see a shrink over this. Since my teenage I have tried my hands at knitting, and some projects were completed with Mom's help or my friend's who can dream up a sweater in two days flat but on my own I have been a disaster! so all my adult life I tried to stay away from knitting then last year all my knitting craze flowed back into my brains. So I started with two small projects one is the earlier mentioned sweater for my nephew and the other a pair of socks and sadly neither are finished. And to make things worse I still want to start with fresh knitting for this year. I just have to resist...I cannot give in to this mad temptation towards colourful, soft yarns, clicking of knitting pins..I would definitely not be smitten with the bug! But do let me know what is the cure for my illness if you have a clue! It will be much appreciated.
