The stupid thing...I am knitting along still. Not quite halfway through it. I have 26 grams of yarn left, so a little more than half a skein. So maybe I'll make it. But I am uncertain enough that there is the vague feeling that this knitting is going to be a waste. Not really a lot of fun and there's this little niggly voice saying, "Ah, just rip it out and start something that you know you have enough yarn for."
And even if I do get the sock finished, since I never weighed that skein at the beginning, I won't know if the 48 gram skein will work. Well, I guess I could weight the finished sock, couldn't I?
Argh. So much angst.

I hate that feeling. I'm one skein into my current project and had that feeling so bad I ordered two more skeins of yarn, spending shipping twice. That drives me crazy, too. I'm realizing now I could have done with only one more...
Now you must explain to me how can knitting ever be "a waste?" ^__^ Would you believe that, even though I have not one, but two sweaters "patiently" waiting on my dining room table for me to finish them that instead I am knitting some Bernat Softee chunky with absolutely no project in mind simply because I love the feel of the yarn and the "thrill" of knitting for no reason at all? I think "they" call it "the zen of knitting."
