The interesting thing about the decision of making the choices on starting a project is...what to do. My first struggle is usually with the color and design of what I do. My reaction is to head to the nearest museum to get inspirition for my choices in the color of the yarn. I treat the yarn as if it is paint and the knitting needles are the brush. I find if I stare deeply into a painting, what type of art I want to create comes to my mind. I head to the knitting store and move through the shelves for those color choices that will form my painting. As soon as I reach the zone of what color to use, the next problem arises. And I am again at a crossroad. Do I choose the traditional type of yarn i.e. paint or move outside the box toward such types of material such as rope or string?
At that point, I figure I should consider heading to a hardware store for the materials to use to start my project. Upon occassion I head to a sports store for the choices of the different types of colored rope allows for more choices. The struggle for how to start a project could go on for quite some time. The road becomes a place to live at that point. But somehow or another I reach the level of making a decision on what type of yarn, string, or rope I will use on a given project.
