I did something heretical last night: I threw yarn away.
Worse, I threw it away in the form of a UFO.
You see, the thing is that I realized that I really, really didn’t want to finish that project. And since it was 10 years old, and I was not the crocheter then that I am now, the quality wasn’t such that I felt comfortable sending it out into the world into someone else’s hands as a donation. And honestly, I just don’t have the space mentally or physically to store something that’s never going to be finished.
So into the trash it went.
I’ve still got a ton of yarn left from it that can become something else. What else, I’m not sure, but I’ll no doubt figure it out after it’s had a chance to be stash for a while.
I feel…lighter. Definitely. When you can send something to the dump with a sigh of relief edged by sadness rather than vice versa, you know you did right.
OMG! I can’t believe it. You didn’t. You couldn’t have?
(Yes, I still read your blog.) Miss you!!
I totally did. Hee!
Every time I click to your blog and see this, I cringe again!
You’re a better woman than I am!
LOL. Still, after 10+ years…it’s ok to let go. Really.
