Too Many Projects?
It’s always exciting to complete a pair of socks. This time I was so excited that I didn’t wait to wash them before wearing them. I really can’t wait for the cold weather again so I can wear more of my handknit socks.
Again, the pattern I used for these socks was the Spring Cable that I found while browsing on Ravelry. I love it, and I love the yarn, and I love the socks. As always there are a few things I’d have done better, a few mistakes, but I’m happy with them.
It really feels like I need to finish a lot more projects, as I have so many on the needles right now. That wouldn’t even bother me so much, but a few of them I’ve been leaving in hibernation. I think I went through a short case of startitis for a bit, and need to fast on starting new projects. I’ve got the Mon Petit Chou hipsters, the lace choker, the candle flames shawl, the handspun sha…
Wait, I haven’t told you about that one yet, have I? The camera’s out of good batteries right now, so I can’t take a picture. I’m not sure I want to though; not sure I want to blog about it either. For some strange reason I’m worried that I’ll jinx it. It was started in a bit of a passion, needing to start this shawl that I’ve been planning for while spinning up the yarn for it. Perhaps I’ll write a bit about that later, when I’m feeling more sure about it.
That’s not even to mention the few hibernating projects that I’ve got going, that I don’t really want to talk about. One of them may get ripped out soon…again. It would be the yarn’s third incarnation as a project. I’ll find something for it yet!
So, now it’s just for enforced knitting of what I’ve got on the needles already. This is good, because I need to finish something soon. Not enough finishing around here, and too much starting.
