During a large knitting project, we may lose the enchantment that we felt at the beginning, and the project becomes just another knit stitch, then another, in the same boring colour that we have been working with for many weeks. We may wonder why we ever started this tedious work in the first place, and feel like we would just like to be rid of it.

Taking on a large knitting project is an adventure into your patience, and your focus. It is an adventure into excitement, joy, and boredom. It can be something that once you dive into will not let you go until it is certain that the work is finished. The skeletons in your closet may well be wearing half knitted sweaters.
So, why would anyone even want to take a large knitting project on?
Well, why would anyone want to do any large adventure? There is a thrill, an excitement, and a wondering about our own personal stamina. We may see the rewards at the end of the project before even casting on our first stitch, and in that moment, we may clearly understand the benefits of the whole project.
So, pick up your yarn, strap yourself in, and dream about what beauty you can create in this world.
