Free Form Knitting - from the project perspective.

For a long time, it wanted to be a shawl.  It really did.  The knitter worked regularly and efficiently to let the yarn be all the shawl it could be.

Then the mojo changed and the knitting muse started whispering.

Hang Me.  You oughta take a stick and hang me.

The knitter tried to keep focus.  Free form knitting focus is a fickle thing.  One fairly straight edge for wrapping around the shoulders.  It sorta kinda stayed on track.  One undulating edge for capturing they eye and creating width  where width is required.

Hang Me.  You oughta take a stick and hang me. 

The whisper would not go away.  It was just there. . . interjecting itself into each stitch, each free thought.  So the knitter did what needed to be done.  The knitter wadded up the swath and banished it to a corner and the knitter left.  The knitter went away.  Vamoose.

Days passed.  Weeks passed.  And the voice of the knitting muse grew louder.

Hang Me.  You oughta take a stick and hang me. 

And that is exactly what happened.

The knitting won.

The muse is silenced.

The knitter is on to other things.
