I haven’t had much time to knit this week – still not feeling the best and end of the month paperwork etc. Plus I just started A Million Little Pieces and have been in near catatonic state with book in hand until wee hours since Friday so…Also I have a real sickness when it comes to knitting. I am always more excited about a project when I begin it – so once I get to the mid-stage all I am thinking about is the next project and envisioning the yarn I will use and how to adapt the pattern and what people will say and I wind up abandoning the project of the moment.
BUT part of starting this blog is to help me through this – I have determined to FINISH projects this winter and not drop them like yesterdays Bennifer…and then it snows for the first time and I want to start a new hat for myself…and a cape…and a candy striped sweater…and a dress for my niece…and a coat for my dog…and a scarf and mitts for myself…
There are too many things I want to do!
Tell me I am not alone!!! Please?!?
In the meanwhile here is The Ravenclaw Raglan at the end of Week 1.
I thought that mid-project daydreaming about the next project to be started was Normal Knitting Behavior; perhaps I’m wrong? I think this kind of daydreaming is also the hazard of being a slower knitter – by the time faster knitters want to start something new, they’re pretty much done with the current project.
I am ALWAYS thinking about what else I want to do! It does make it hard to finish up a longer project. Sometimes I just write all my want-to-makes down. That gets them out of my head for a short period of time so I can try to focus on the project at hand.
So much cool stuff to make and so little time!(and money!)
