now begins the ripping times
Coalescing insights into both the Broad Street Mittens and the Flappers hat have led me to the conclusion that there shall be a mighty ripping soon. Flappers is 'agawn t'have t'be tore out completely, and the mittens are going too have to go back to the ribbing, which is not so much of a loss. Still, we contemplate the ephemeral nature of string, and arrive at peace. It is better to tear out work on a hat than to have a felted hat that you can do nothing with. The felted hat represents our fixed routines, and if our fixed routines are flawed then we are in a much deeper peril than when we can still mend our ways.
That's about as philosophical as I can get over this today, ladies and gentlemen. I don't really want to work on either project right now, and to be honest, the idea of trying to get that kufi back into some sort of malleable, salvageable state gives me the willies.
