Breaking Up

Dear Rosamund,

This is not a difficult letter to write. It's not like we were ever in a real relationship.  You have been a problem from the very beginning.  I take that back, it isn't you, so much, as it is your relationship with the BWA yarn that has us on the rocks.   I must also take responsibility for things not working out for the long run. I'm the one who brought you to together.  I really am not sure what I was thinking, why I thought this was a good idea. 

Your cables, your gauge and the BWA just do not play well together. I'm in the middle of this fight and every stitch is a struggle.  I feel beat up and exhausted after just short time of referring you two.  The process, something I believe in with all my heart, isn't joyful, it isn't even remotely pleasant, in fact, its such a blankity, blak nightmare, I just can't go on! 

My decision has been made and I won't change my mind. You need to go.  You need to get out and never come back.  You are more than I can handle, more trouble than you're worth.  I have even cast on for another project so there is no more room for you.

Sinceriously,
Margene

Sometimes these things happen. You'll be happier apart.

[Hillary]

Poor Rosamund. May your next project be a winner.

[Vicki]

Good for you!!

[Yarndude]

Whoa, Margene! I didn't know you had it in you to be so... blunt. Way to go!

[Katherine]

Your new scarf is more than lovely enough to make up for it.

I don't really like the Rosamund pattern anyway. I don't normally make that observation to people who are slogging away (and I'm proved wrong most of the time when the piece is done and it is gorgeous). But I really don't like the pattern much, and I think you should find another one anyway. Besides, COLD weather will be here soon. Maybe you could knit a warm jacket?

[PJ]

I didn't think Rosamund was right for you.

[Cookie]

I'm glad you realized that things weren't working out. There is no point in living a lie when no one is happy.

[Kristin]

I wish I'd had you around to help get rid of a couple of boyfriends in college...

[nova]

You're to good for 'er anyway.

[sandy]

I always love a good break up! :D

I once knit a pattern in Reynold's Whiskey with the same problem. I actualy finished the whole thing huffing and puffing the entire time and then ripped it all out! I could bear to look at it again.

[--Deb]

Way to be firm, Margene!

[Norma]

Damn. I was looking forward to seeing her finished. Ah, well. Onward and upward. :)

[jill]

Well, we can't win them all. There are so many lovely browns out there right now. You'll find another companion for those special buttons.

[Manise]

Sinceriously? Haha! The crumpled up pattern says it all! Sounds like it was for the better.

[Birdsong]

Such a tale of woe... better luck in your next application of this yarn.

[Cheryl S.]

Ah well. Sometimes it's definitely good to rip.

[Sarah]

I'm glad you are already on to the next knit.

[Dianne]

"Know when to hold, know when to Fold!"..You always make the right choice!

[Pam from Kansas]

Life is too short - too many other great projects. You gotta do what you gotta do!

[claudia]

Ah the power of being the break-up-er rather than the break-up-ee.

[Teyani]

LOL.
good one.
May she rest in peace.

[Lucia]

Breaking up is hard to do, but life goes on. Obladee, obladah.

[Chris]

Hi! Hope all is well - two days with no new Margene post?! *worries*

[Lori in Michigan]

Delurking...Saw the Knit sign up...and you were having surgery. Prayers sent up for you!
