Forgive me if I'm too unconnected to understand the situation, but aren't these garments learning exercises? Is learning only measured by having absolutely perfect garments? Or can something be imperfect, but the creator still grasp the concepts and know how to do even better the next time? As an exercise to learn, it seems like this vest is a complete success!<BR/><BR/>I think it's fair to ask whether it's reasonable to complete each garment perfectly, when there are such long stretches between classes with limited teacher consultation. Seriously, your class and Ms. Wong might revisit the expectations of the course in light of the issues that have come up. (Just askin'.)<BR/><BR/>Your goal is to learn. And from the sidelines, I think you are wildly successful.

Your...You know, Naomi, I have never seen you fail. Your efforts are seldom wasted, and, in fact, are inspirational. I have learned from you sharing your experiences, and I even thought of your tenacity when re-knitting my top-down sweater sample for the 4th time after making the same mistake in the same place each time. It's correct now, and I won't be sorry when I finally get one knit in my own size!crookedneedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348075189694543689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30210538.post-34761215534924259402008-01-06T22:18:00.000-08:002008-01-06T22:18:00.000-08:00It sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
