Pulled out almost a whole scarf tonight over one dropped stitch, because I couldn’t just leave it there. My hands are cracked enough that the yarn kept catching anyway. It’s been quiet since I sent those applicaitons out, no replies, no rejections, just that flat waiting that makes you feel stuck. Haven’t been sleeping great either. I know it’s just yarn… but it felt like more than that, sitting in a pile on the floor.
Unraveled the scarf tonight

I know that feeling of pulling at something for a while instead of just leaving it, it never really stays about the yarn. I’ve been sitting on 2 unanswered applications myself and that flat quiet wears at me just as much as the not sleeping does.

Pulling out a whole scarf for one dropped stitch makes sense when there’s nowhere else to put all that waiting. I went 3 weeks without a single reply once and ended up ripping out a sweater sleeve for no real reason either.

That flat waiting wrecks sleep. I lost 10 days to it after one quiet pitch

lol the scarf didn’t do anything wrong, your hands just needed somewhere to put the waiting

Same thing happens with my scalp right before an interview, flares up from the stress even though it’s really the waiting after that gets me more. I’m 3 months into sending applications now and still haven’t learned how to just leave a dropped thread alone instead of ripping the whole thing out.
