So then, I find an old book of embroidery stitches at the library and think I'm going to make a sampler and LEARN these stitches once and for all....this is it so far.
So then, after not seeing the results I want, I have moved on to papier mache. Papier mache??? I have a lot to learn, but probably won't because I don't have the patience these days.
(I think it will be a pumpkin.)So on to knitting. This has been very rewarding. I can sit and knit and watch an episode of Lost and before you know it I have a finished mitten. OR sock. Maybe I should just stick with that.
Short attention span. Wonder what it is I'm trying to avoid??? Need to think about this.

I love the paper mache. Did you get the idea from Judy Wise? Her dolls are fantastic but made from Sculpty.
I bought a large package of Sculpty, intending to make a doll of my own and I want to do some "Slow Cloth" embroidery like Jude Hill and paint fabric like the two English women who wrote the book I purchased.
Deja vu, all over again,huh?
Are you my sister seperated at birth?! I laughed as I read your post because I purchased 2 of the books with the same good intentions and result. I have one mitten finished, dyed fabric to be ironed, and the list goes on. I am like a squirrel storing up projects for "snow days". Have a great weekend.
We want mittens. I love knit mittens.
I have at least a dozen projects on the go at eh moment. Last week my mind was racing so fast with ideas, I had to quit. Like you that's when I have to resort to the more meditative knitting.
For me , I think there's a hormone connection.
