Well I usually do (1) abandon it and send it to the bottom of my stitching chest never to be seen again OR (2) rip it out and change it. Life is too short to keep working on something you hate. It took me a while to figure this out. My motto, do what ever it is that's going to make you happy!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985600535017248188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417359688941324284.post-26242382899863958312014-05-11T15:43:30.258-03:002014-05-11T15:43:30.258-03:00I kinda like it!

It sounds harsh but I think it's the only thing to because you will always be annoyed at what you don't like. Ask yourself the question what is it You don't like about it? there is the answer either keep hooking or rip, hugs Cheri<br />I think it's a pretty rug.Back to Larkrisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076890168145055165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417359688941324284.post-68421625359468987742014-05-11T00:55:57.560-03:002014-05-11T00:55:57.560-03:00Sweet watercolor!

So those kinds of projects I can't comment about. However, I do have other projects that I've had to make a choice to continue on or do it over.

I hook for a while but I just hate it. I am going to finish it though, just because. I guess I am bull headed that way. I really like the design that you are doing, I think it looks happy and carefree. <br />I would put it away if you can, but I swear the unfinished ones call to me until they are finished. <br />Or maybe start another one? Can you do that? I can't very well, it is hard for me to change gears. I do cheat though and do counted cross stitch. Maybe you just need to knit. :)Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417359688941324284.post-9208178204133398522014-05-10T21:31:55.082-03:002014-05-10T21:31:55.082-03:00I usually take a match to my projects that become ...I usually take a match to my projects that become frustrating, but if I just don't like the look, I bury it in stash. I agree with your readers. Put it away and some time in the future, you may feel differently about it. If you don't, buy some hot dogs and get some long forks.marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417359688941324284.post-25112688443203360152014-05-10T21:09:09.418-03:002014-05-10T21:09:09.418-03:00Kim ~

But I don't think what you've hooked is that bad at all.... every rug is a learning experience... like it or not! <br />Take care this weekend....

Sometimes just changing a color will do the trick. I'd say just put it away for a little while and work on something else for now.<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.com
