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 05:02 pm (UTC)Actual on-the-needles WIPs:
*a pair of socks, about an inch past the heel on sock #1.
*a pair of fingerless gloves
*4 squares done on a sampler afghan (12 squares planned)
*use up all my scrap yarn/acrylics making tawashi
However, if you want to include the projects not yet started:
*my sister requested several scarves. She picked the patterns. I finished one, and still haven't sent it to her. Winter's over where she lives, but I still have at least 4 more to make.
*my husband wants another earflap hat and a vest
*both my husband and son want more socks. Lots of them.
*2 of my sisters want more dishcloths
*I just realized the niece I thought was graduating next year actually graduates this month. I have ordered yarn to make her a shawl, my first big lace project
*lots more requests by family members, plus gifts I want to make before next winter. If I had time to knit all day (I wish), this is unlikely!
I love knitting, and I love knitting for my family. But the requests are starting to come faster than I can complete anything. I would like to teach a few of them to knit so I can go back to making things for me, but so far, no one's willing. :)
