remember when john cho was the romantic lead in a comedy show that was a modern adaptation of my fair lady but it got canceled after like 5 episodes? we were all deprived of something great. this isn't relevant to anything but you reblogged a post about john cho and i just think everyone should think about it every so often
tinyqueerme reblogged your photoset “vivienvalentino: ‘Cause if they used us, and they abused us, how could you tell us that we were wrong?”
#should’ve been gay
Was so gay. Like so so sooooooo gay. Especially... well, basically everything up to Billy’s introduction. Mama was openly trading mundane favours for sexual ones, Roxy was pretty blatantly crushing on Velma, and in the end the two of them ran off together

I think the best way to make sure you don’t burn out on big projects like this is to give yourself enough time to work on them at a steady pace. This afghan has taken me over six months to complete - I started at the beginning of June right around when my brother proposed. I did a gauge swatch since I was making the blanket larger, and used my row gauge to figure out about how many inches each pattern repeat would be. Based on that, and how long I knew I wanted to make it, I figured that if I did four rows per day I would be done with some time to spare for finishing. Knitting a seven-foot afghan is overwhelming; knitting four rows just takes an hour or two in the evening.
From there it was just a matter of actually doing the four rows per day (and sometimes catching up on the weekends so I wouldn’t fall behind). Sometimes I would just put on some music or an episode of a show and crank them out; other times I had to bribe myself a little to get them done. But I knew the end result was worth it, and it was important to me to have it done.
tl;dr Give yourself time to work on it; break it into smaller, less intimidating chunks; and stick with it no matter what.
