knittingAhhhh so I have a problem -- or rather, I have eleven of them!
I currently have eleven unfinished projects on my needles. I've been trying to cut down, but every time I finish one of my current projects, or even finish half of one (one sock/mitten etc), I cast on a new project to replace the old one.
So I was hoping I could find like-minded folks to chat about WIPs. Anyone want to join me in sharing your WIPs to cheer each other on? That glove lacking a second half, that beret that just won't get past the ribbing, that scarf that just won't stop, that lacework that you've squirreled away in a bag so you're not tempted to throw it across the room, that thing you need to tink back a couple hundred stitches before you can move forward again (and if that sounds familiar, all the best of luck to you!) Or even that one project that's just flying off your needles so we can all remember that it can be done? And if that's you, I'm envious, but do share *G*
Maybe we'll even finish one of them eventually! (And maybe then I can stop fervently hoping that mismatched gloves, or gloves matched with mittens, or one-sock-only would come into style >_>)

Date: 2011-05-03 07:42 am (UTC)I think all the UFOs went into the "frog and reclaim the yarn for something else" pile. One I just want to frog and restart (it's from some years ago... I'm a much better knitter now).
Meanwhile, there's still all the downstairs yarn and projects. "Active" projects include -
a scarf (which is really closer to 'hibernating' than 'active')
fingerless gloves (ditto), a shawl (made with sock yarn)
a baby blanket (strictly for knitting group. easy to knit while yammering)
and a pair of socks.
I think that's it. I'm not about to get out of the warm bed and toddle downstairs to confirm... ;)
Eleven projects, eh? What specifically have you got going?
