WIP Chat Post

[afuna]

Ahhhh 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 >_>)

I have a shawl that has been marked as 95% for close to 6 months because I finished the knitting, but I wouldn't let myself mark it as finished until I blocked it. Which is happening right now because it's a gift for a bride...who is getting married in like 4 days. Good thing I'm in the wedding party and don't have to mail the shawl.

See, you were being clever! If you'd blocked it six months ago, you'd have had to fold it and store it, and this way it'll be newly stretched and crisp.

(Sez the woman with a tumbling pile of baby blankets stacked up by the door.)
