What to do?

I’ve restarted the honeycomb baby blanket. Again. This time it’s working, but…

The “make one” increase is leaving holes at the corners. I’m wondering if a “knit into front and back of loop” increase would be tighter/neater looking. Chris thinks I should just keep knitting, but he always thinks that. I think he’s done with the drama this blanket has put me through, and just wants it to be over. But this is less than a tenth of the blanket, and I could easily restart it now, possibly with happier results. Isn’t it worth it if it turns out better? Or am I a never-pleased perfectionist and I should just let it go?

Maybe I should switch patterns…

After all the problems I’ve had trying to begin the honeycomb blanket, I’m thinking I should use my shine sport “butter” yarn on another pattern. Maybe this cradle me blanket would be a pretty alternative. But the pattern costs $7. And I’m not really allowed to spend any more on yarn/knitting for a while. I got in trouble. I could use this andean silk yarn for the honeycomb blanket instead. Maybe in “crimini” or “lettuce” for neutral colors. For some reason I’m not big on the alpaca silk used in the pattern. It’s a little too squishy and light. I don’t know, but if I spend much more time on this silly blanket, I’m going to end up in an asylum.
