Keeper

Many thanks to all for the feedback. I've decided to finish the sweater (which was always going to happen anyway), and rather than destroy it (thanks Patrick) I'm going to keep it. When JP and I broke up, I was not at all in a place where I was prepared to accept the end of the relationship, and I was pretty consumed by negative feelings for him, sparked by what I felt at the time to be exceptionally poor behaviour on his part. This negativity has continued for quite some time, but I think that it's now time to have a concrete reminder that there was a time, and quite a long time, when I was pretty happy with JP. Happy enough to spend quite a lot of money on wool that even JP couldn't find scratchy and undertake yet another Starmore. So to answer Chris, yes, it will remind me of JP, and yes, that's still a painful thing, but I'm hoping that the sweater will help to change that.
