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 03:04 pm (UTC)My current primary WIP is a Cookie A pattern from Sock Innovation that I'm doing in an acrylic/nylon blend (Berroco Comfort Sock). I love the pattern but it is SO complicated and the stitches are SO tiny that it requires my full concentration and frequent breaks. I just turned the heel on the first sock after casting on a year ago this week.
Since that's not terribly portable due to the complicatedness, my travel project is a raw silk wrap with a relatively simple lace pattern that is easy to pick up and put down. I also have a baby sweater in progress that the intended recipient hasn't grown into yet. :)
I have nine other projects that are on the needles but currently gathering dust, six of which are wool-based. I will swap out with one of the other three whenever I get bored of the ones I mentioned.
