Colors inspire

Race to finish red versus natural

For any fellow beginners of crochet who get bored easily, you could try to work on 2 identical projects at the same time in 2 different colors.  I'm working on a motif hat that needs 5 motifs. At moments I couldn't advance from the first round to the next.  I just kept running out of gas (maybe steam is better said).  So I bought more yarn in a brighter color (red) and started to compete with myself to see which color I would finish first. It turns out that I progressed more slowly with the brighter color, to my surprise, and I finished the original color (natural) first.  I hope this will help someone else to keep trying before giving up. (written 4/2/11)
