I had a sort through of my knitting basket this morning and when I got rid of all the junk I actually had room to put all the projects I'm working on in it!
I've not got many things on the needles this summer, a diagonal knit baby blanket in JC Brett marble( car knit), black dk crochet shrug, Arcuanian cotton cardigan, just finished bottom border, 3 rico cancan scarves and the Sue bags that I now seem to be addicted to. Oh! and a 2ply baby shawl that never seems to get any bigger no matter how much I work on it
Of course, that's just whats on the needles, the to-do list is never ending
What is everyone else working on?
I have a scrappy blanket (that I take to motorbike racing so I can work on it between helping hubby with the bike, it's scraps of wool so doesn't matter it gets dirty!)
Some Christmas decorations
The never-ending "Pop" jumper
An aran jumper for my nephew in Spain - will probably unravel and use the wool for something else as he's grown so much since I started it three years ago
A Sands baby blanket (working on the never-ending border)
Some 6" squares to make blankets for Refuge
D'you know, I think that's all! Must be a record for me, I've usually got more than this on the go. What a good excuse to go and start something else
erm... too many? 2 blankets/throws, 2 big softie cardis, whinne the pooh, click chunky shawl and an extreme scarf... so thats 7 in total, probably one of the lowest number of UFOs/WIPs since I first started knitting
2 cardigans/jackets (adult), crochet blanket, sands blanket, LK teacosy, 2 baby cardigans plus in between have knitted various bags, teddies and frogs. One day I might finish everything and just stick to one project at a time - somehow I doubt it can't resist starting something with new wool! Other than kniting I decided to try needle felting and also have a counted cross stitch on the go aswell. As you can see I'm never short of something to keep my hands busy.
ooh erm lets see..... well im right now working on the Lore Hoodie from Vampire Knits using james c brett marble chunky which im loving! ive a shrug on the go, still have my Lelah top to finish off, crochet shrug hiding away in my draw too. oh actually i think thats it!! any other wip is soon to be frogged so not worth mentioning lol
Glad I didn't find this thread a week ago 'cos the answer would have been more than I have now! OK, so I have:
1 turquoise jumper in a nice brushed acrylic yarn (just needs sleeves);
1 sage green lacy jumper that I'm frogging to make a lacy vest;
1 pair of stripy cotton socks;
1 fair-isle skirt in merino wool for the winter;
......... erm, I'm sure there's something else ........
oh gawd, the dreaded basket-weave tunic I started a million years ago in another dimension, light years away from here, languishing in a cupboard with just its back complete. At least that is now complete and I've been able to salvage my nice long 4mm bamboo needles from that project bag for something else!
OK I confessed - when will I start to feel better?!
The Charlie baby top, 6in square for blankets, tea cosy, and a fair isle hat.
Have just completed my UFOs so that is one consolation which was 2 slouchy cabled beret type hats, a mans/teenagers cabled beanie and a 4-6 year old size jumper and a 6-12 month cross over cardigan lol.
I have a sweater for my husband knitted in 11 different colours. ( He is a hippy so will love it) I want to finish it for his Birthday but can't knit it when he is around. Also a coffee coloured sweater for me in moss stitch. I did have a lacey shawl started but pulled it down after about 20 rows when I found a mistake. That is all I have on needles but there are no end of projects to start. I do try to complete one thing before I start another or they never get finished.
I have been trying to finish some of my ufos and did complete a teddy bear that I started 10 years ago but since then I have started new crochet, cross stitch, sewing, needlefelting, several cards and a half finished scrapbook page. Should we join crafter's anonymous?
