Why can’t I finish this thing?  Hmmm.  I’m waiting for an answer from someone else.  Because I obviously cannot convince myself that sewing up the backpack would be a good thing.  So I start this new plan of action.  Every night before I start working on Klaralund, I do one piece of sewing.  Tonight, I rip out one seam I’ve already done and rework it.  I’m ripping because I don’t think that the seam is strong enough or tight enough for the weight-bearing seam of the backpack.  Then and ONLY then can I work on Klaralund. 

I’m forcing you to hold me to this.  If this backpack isn’t finished in, let’s say, a week, then I give you permission to beat me senseless with a tapestry needle.
