If you liked the sixth season of Project Runway, you might like this.  I thought the season was kind of meh, but I did like Irina’s knitwear.  I would consider adding this to my plethora of unfinished projects. View high resolution

Yeah, so there are certain crafty things that I aspire to do, but this one is beyond my reach.  It’s similar how sometime in the next 5 years I might attempt to get my Ph.D, but in something like medical anthropology, not in quantum physics.  Likewise, sometime in the next 5 years I might attempt to make my grandmother’s Irish knit sweaters, not knit in insane miniatures.

Is there a craft or level of craft you think you might never even want to attempt?
