Note to self:
Dear Self,
Before you spend an hour and a half designing a plaid tabby weave baby blanket in colors of burnt umber, yellow, mellow orange and turquois, going so far as to use graph paper and algebra to determine the proper color ratios and sketching a 1:1 draft, perhaps you should browse the inadequate yarn selections in town to see if anything remotely suitable in remotely those colors is available. Not only have you wasted an hour and a half, Self, but you are now extremely attached to your design and the materials required to execute it do. not. exist.
In a perfect world design the project and then find the materials. In the real world design to fit the materials at hand.
Love and warp calcuations,
Self

I often have the same situation with clothes and home decorations. I invest time in figuring out what exactly the perfect outfit would be, or how I want the lighting to look in the living room and then go out to buy it, only to find it only exists in my imagination. Frustrating!
Very cute note. Hey a great design may develop from that one-no time is wasted. :)
Hugs to you
Well you're right about the time not wasted - once I found a material I wanted to work with I just swaped in the new colors into the old design and only had to tweak it a little bit.
