[Nfb-krafters-korner] mental block--and a weird one

[Laura White]

Lol Deborah,
I've got a mental block about finishing things sometimes too!  I have
had a blanket on the needles for 3 years now!
Anyways, glad you can do socks, I seem to never have much luck.  I've
knitted socks before and know how to do it but lately if I start one I
screw it up.
