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: 2011-05-04 01:19 am (UTC)One doggie sweater - extra small - tv knitting (where I can watch and knit)
Wisteria Arbor Shawl - lunchtime and weekend knitting - tried to watch tv with this one and spent one whole 12 row repeat knitting a row, frogging a row
Azzu's Shawl - dead easy to knit but has very involved instructions considering - a chart would be nice on this one
Two totally UFO and probably never to be done - Hourglass sweater that I began two years ago and was so new to knitting didn't realize you had to mark off rows! And a pair of socks that will never be done. I like the idea of knitting socks MUCH more than the reality of knitting socks. I will conquer socks at some point but probably not this year. Once I teach myself Continental style I will revisit but as an 'English' knitter socks take too much time.
