Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A - yesterday’s poll revealed many people get stuck finishing projects for reasons from ADHD to shiny object syndrome, from putting it aside and forgetting about it to reaching a challenging part and needing a break. What works for you to overcome these blockers? What tips do you have for your fellow crafters?

If you're using superwash merino, regular merino or silk/bamboo blends, you will have more of a problem with steeks. There are a bunch of techniques to deal with those cut edges, especially by sewing them and using twill tape to cover them.

That being said, knitting doesn't unravel horizontally. It unravels vertically. Its like when you get holes in your knit socks or whatever. Pull at the horizontally edge and see how much it unravels. Then pull at the vertical edge.

Will watercolor soon.

But I'm looking at the comments on the a norwegian pullover included in a pattern roundup done by a YouTube knitter.

Folks... steeking isn't as bad as it sounds, even with craft store wool. I did it for a vest for my s father even before I completely understood Norwegian knitting.

With smooth yarns yes you will have some trouble. Merino, some silk, bamboo, cotton.
Norwegian wool is "sticky". The scales in the wool tangle and secure the steeks.

The second pair of my new knitting design for fingerless gloves is nearly finished - I really like the pinwheel pattern. #knitting @span knitting

I'm dreading a second sleeve for the first time. It's knit in pieces with zero decreases and a lot of stitches. #finishorfrogalong #knitting @span knitting

Today's #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A: as we near the end of our week focused on frogging or scrapping projects - many people get stuck in the “sunk cost” trap and don’t want to give up on time and materials already invested in a project. What tips do you to help people let go? What’s worked for you to help you decide it’s time to scrap a project and move on?

It's not like I need a new project. And I definitely have more than enough scarves.

But it's cool. And nerdy. And it mentions programming (I don't code myself, but I work with them daily and I actually live with one ...)

Here’s a good video with a discussion about the interconnectedness of fiber workers with animal husbandry when it comes to turning fiber into finished textiles. Vegetable fibers are also mentioned but the visual examples are mostly from wool. #fiberarts #knitting #spinninghttps://youtu.be/ELM4Whplylc?si=XLiE-cLvNDNCXp_T
