Just in Time

Just as I my arms were beginning to ache and my fingers were beginning to rebel...
Just as my frustration level was about to outgrow the bounds of my control....
Just as I thought that double moss stitch was the cruelest form of knitting torture...
Just as I thought I would abandon knitting altogether to avoid another row....

I realized that I was almost done with the back of the linen tank.

Whew!!

Once I knew that all that was left was the little bit of shoulder shaping my resolve strengthened and I knew I could finish.

Actually once I got back into my knitting groove it went quickly. 

Now for the front.  I am filled with anticipation and dread.  The bottom will be easy, the alternating stripes, the thrill of changing yarn....but then comes the dreaded expanse of double moss stitch, endless back and forth, knitting stretching to the end of the horizon like a sea becalmed.

Well, perhaps it won't be that bad.

At least I can dream of wearing a cool linen tank.  I can dream of the next project, and I can even enjoy knitting the dreaded double moss stitch, and now that I have passed the "half-way hump" perhaps the front will go faster and I will finish before I even have a chance to realize how quickly it has gone.

I think a spot of gin helps you through the "half way hump". We may need to test this theory next Thursday...
