I have knitting squirrels in my head. They work like this: I get an idea for a design, plot it out, and start working on it. I think it looks pretty good and the pattern writing is going well. Immediately, the knitting squirrels wake up and start running in circles in my brain. Their chatter is very distracting: what about this design? are you sure this is what you want to do? how would it look if you did this? how would it look if you did that? how about you rip it out and start over and do this instead?
And lo and behold, what was a pretty clear, straight forward idea and design suddenly becomes A BIG DEAL.
Sometimes it's very difficult to shut those squirrels up and make them lie down, go back to sleep, and leave me alone.
Does anyone else have knitting squirrels in their heads? Or knitting monkeys? Hamsters? Anyone? Anyone?
