It's CATurday
Day six: Saturday, 2nd April. Something to aspire to
Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant? Is there a skill or project that makes your mind boggle at the sheer time, dedication and mastery of the craft? Maybe the skill or pattern is one that you don’t even personally want to make but can stand back and admire those that do. Maybe it is something you think you will never be bothered to actually make bu can admire the result of those that have.
I want to master socks, because some of the patterns out there are just too cool. There's something about the turn of the heal that keeps getting me. Haunts my dreams. Not really, but it is really frustrating that I can't seem to just spit socks out like some people can.
I also want need to learn how to block. I've not started a lace project and most of the things I do, don't require it so therefore, never learned it. My mom sent me an email with a link on how to block properly. I've looked at it and it seems easy enough, I've just got to get around to making something that requires it. (Plus I need the equipment)
Blocking reminds me of what's next on my list of projects, lace. It's kind of intimidating. I think it's gorgeous and I really want to give it a go, hoping that nothing bad happens along the way. I have the attention span of a gnat am really busy most of the time and not really into having big projects that I can't finish right away. But I think lace would be worth giving a year or two to finish. It may seem like a long time, but lets not forget, I still haven't finished this.
What's everyone else's aspirations?
