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 12:52 pm (UTC)- A Norwegian style jacket, which I still love. But I put it down some years ago and it is snoozing in a cabinet. The body and one sleeve is done. It was just taking so long, and I had to do some quicker things so that I could finish something. Now I'm sort of afraid to pick it up again, heaven knows how my gauge has changed, and I even do stranded knitting with a different method now.
- Just started a Moebius cowl at a workshop this weekend. This will likely get finished, as it is small and quick.
- A multi-yarn pullover for myself. I expect this will get finished, as it is just plain knitting. This is a good travel project.
- A Henley-style pullover for my husband. It needs to be seamed (which I really don't mind doing) and I need to get the buttons. This was the first placket pattern I'd created using Sweater Wizard, and didn't spot that I could narrow the width of the placket. I'm afraid that it's going to look silly for a man's sweater, and so I've been not touching it. On the other hand, I got the yarn at more than 50% off at a store moving sale, so feel no guilt on that score if it doesn't get finished.
And projects of other types are demanding attention now too, further cutting down on knitting time.
