I have a million game ideas, why bother spending a couple years making just one of them? Sounds like game development!

I guess I could block it in my parents' house on Long Island, but my cat (who currently lives there) would probably think it's a toy. Plus, there's something pretty fun about building a blocking board from the foam things. (Maybe I should have a childhood regression party with blocks and play dough and crayons some time, but that's a different story.) As for the other projects... they're actually fun to work on (except for the hated weaving in of ends!) and pretty to look at so I'm not sure why I'm procrastinating on them. Probably it's the weaving in. I'll go through a lot of objectively-more-work convolutions to avoid weaving in ends. Giving up on projects I don't like any more is a good idea, though. I might pull out some of the shockingly old incomplete projects from my stash and frog them for yarn since for the most part the yarn is perfectly good. I think also organization might help? Like, if I sorted out projects into ziplock baggies with all the stuff needed for them and then shoved them places they'd be useful (like into a purse or in my bag for school or the like) based on size, I might work on the random assorted problems more. Er, sorry for overusing your comment for an increasingly-less-related reply! Sadly for knitting (but happily for my allergies) we don’t have any carpet at all. I guess I could block it in my parents’ house on Long Island, but my cat (who currently lives there) would probably think it’s a toy.
