I just got an email from E.B. asking me what I was working on.
What a loaded question.
Until just a few weeks ago I have been what I understand to be an oddity in the world of knitters. I would start one project and when that was entirely completed, all ends woven in and ready to be worn or gifted I would cast on a new project.
Then while working on my wrap from Nancie Wiseman’ Knitted Shawls, Stoles and Scarves I realized I was getting burned out on the K5 P5 pattern. So I did the previously unthinkable. I cast on a pair of socks.
Then another.
I knit a scarf yesterday. (the yarn was too pretty not be worn immediately)
What about the beautiful wrap? Undone. Incomplete. WIP. UFO.
My birthday passed this weekend. My brother bought me a wee knitting shopping spree. I chose some beautiful neutrals for a scarf that is little more than and embryo in my mind. A few skeins of Blue Sky Cotton for the toddler. Noro Kureyon just because it’s pretty. Linen for a lace scarf.
And of course the scarf I finished yesterday.
I can’t forget the Blue Moon Fibers Wooly Bear for a cardigan.
What am I working on? I have no idea. I have a euphoric sense of anticipation, and anxiety. What will I make next do I want stiff linen next or super soft cotton, maybe some felting? Or maybe I will finish that wrap.
My bag spilleth over.
Hi there girl!
I’m so glad you’ve come over to the dark side of multiple projects. I say that only to make myself feel better. I still have not finished the sweater I started about 18 months ago for my DH. It seems the only things I can finish these days are socks!
Take care and see you soon!
