WIPs == too damn many

[damned_colonial]

OK, I have too many works in progress.




Pinwheel sweater in natural brown sheeptastic wool from Argentina -- it's a little further long than this now, but not much.

---



Textured shawl recipe. I added yarnover increases because I didn't like the recommended M1R/M1L, and then decided to add some yarnovery stripes to the mix so the increases wouldn't look so random.

---



Random scarfness, just kinda made this one up, but I'm really liking it. It's my current travel/commute knitting.

---



EZ mitred mittens.

---



Bottom-up birch shawl. Not really enjoying knitting this lace so much, and considering just ditching it. Especially because the colour is kind of similar to the textured shawl (above) and I don't really need two similar triangular shawls. But I'm wondering what else I would do with the yarn. Probably something rectangular and stole-like. Maybe something crocheted just to mix it up a bit?

---



Lizard Ridge blanket. I have 10 out of 35 squares knitted. If I buckled down I'd have it finished in a month, but of course I won't.

---



Froot Loop socks. These were my travel knitting (note wooden needles) but to be honest they require a bit too much attention for that. I really need to just plough through them and then cast on a pair of brainless socks using my usual recipe, which would be much better suited to knitting while travelling.

---



Ringwood pattern socks. These are from a vintage pattern and have calf shaping and I hate them because I have to count rows in a section of sock which, quite frankly, I don't want to count rows in. Thinking of ripping back and restarting without the shaping. I am lazy when it comes to socks.



That's too many, right? And I didn't even count the two I don't have pics of. *sigh*

PS: all patterns etc are linked from my Rav project page

The lizard ridge blanket is breathtaking. Is it an existing pattern, or did you invent it? And what does the back look like?

[grey853]

I love all your projects. I don't think one can ever have too many. I get bored if I just work on one thing at a time. Doesn't look like you're ever be bored!!

I love all your wool choices, I have to say. Mmmm*sheepy*.

[aunty_marion]

Oh, I love the Lizard Ridge blanket! *heads for Ravelry to find it for herself*

[pineapplechild]

Yeah, I'm seconding the wool choice love. I want to grope all your yarn.
I'm actually wondering what the calf-shaping sock pattern looks like. I have weirdly shaped calves, so my socks end up baggy, because I can't ever find elasticated sock yarn that doesn't make me want to burn it.

[laughingrat]

Oh wow, what yarn are those last socks in?

Can you do something like a Print o' the Wave pattern or similar, for a rectangular stole? I mean Eunny Jang actually wrote a pattern like that, but you could also improvise one.

I'm a dork, do you mind hashing out with me the recipe for a textured triangular shawl? Center and side increases every right-side row, yes?

I don't believe in the concept of 'too many projects' as long as you are finishing them eventually and not letting them sit for years. I like having different projects for different situations/moods/way my hands feel/way my mind feels/etc. so I usually have a few going at once. Right now I only have three going and it doesn't feel like enough.

ETA: Ummmm. Correction. Four projects. Still doesn't feel like enough.
