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 01:08 pm (UTC)- a lace shawl (Industrial Revolution pattern from the Sanguine Gryphon)
- another lace shawl (Wild West pattern from Evelyn Clark)
- one sock, the first of theoretically two
- a pair of fingerless mitts
- a worsted weight scarf
- a hat
- another pair of fingerless mitts (same pattern as the first, but different color/yarn)
- a teddy bear (head and body knitted but unattached, currently limbless)
- a lace scarf
Let's not even talk about my stash or the list of patterns/projects I have lined up. >.> A couple of these are gifts, and a couple more have goal dates, so that helps. I really want to finish the Industrial Revolution shawl by July so I can wear it with a Steampunk costume at a con I'm going to, so I'm motivated to keep plugging away at it. Those socks, though... Those will probably languish quite a while longer.
