Penance

Posted by amy on December 3rd, 2004 filed in more knitting

Forgive me knitting goddess, for I have sinned.

It has been ages since I last confessed. But I confess to you know, in my hope to gain your forgiveness for my sins against you.

I’ve committed the sin of pride, in my blueberry shawl. A shawl I have worn almost every day since it came off my needles, sometimes just to fish for complements.

I’ve committed the sin of envy of my neighbor’s knitting projects, but let she who is without this sin cast the first stone.

I’ve committed the sin of greed, buying yarn and more yarn, but does it count if I only buy hand spun, hand dyed yarn as a souvenir of a vacation?

I’ve been angry at my husband, who said that even he wasn’t secure enough in his heterosexuality to wear the man-along vest that made him.

I desperately seek your forgiveness, oh knitting goddess, so that I when I rip out the 20 inches of stockinette it took me a week to accomplish on my latest shapely tank, I will learn my lesson about ROW GAUGE and pay attention to my directions.

Oh knitting goddess, in your infinite wisdom, please give me the patience to measure twice, rip once. Please give me the strength to return to my policy of working one project at a time, as I’ve never been very good with monogamy and I need your strength now as I return to my purple pullover, which I will concentrate on till it is completed to an unprecedented level of perfection.

It is through this act of penance that I will redeem myself and have faith in my knitting skills.

    Wear that shawl with pride, darlin’. As for your husband and the vest—crap. I’d be a tad annoyed, too. Hope you get the absolution you’re looking for. :)
