It seems that all I do these days is Knit! At the last count I have the following projects on the go:
1. Baby Jumper for my Grandson in Baby Crofter (Back and half of front completed)
2. Beret hat for shop in handspun wool (Band and pick up stitches completed)
3. Knitted Bag in Rowan Colourscape Chunky (Knitted up to the handles)
4. Aran Jumper for my Daughter in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran (2 Sleeves and Back completed)
5. Shawl for me (Hurrah!) in Sirdar Softspun chunky (Half completed)
6. Crochet baby blanket for my Nieces new baby (2/3 completed)
7. Crochet Granny Square blanket (squares completed, need to join them together)
I also have several projects that I would like to start on but MUST NOT START YET, mainly due to the large array of new yarns that have arrived in the shop (each time I open a new delivery I say 'Ooh I'd like to knit that') and a couple of customer orders that I really must start right now! My life is choc-a-bloc full of knitting....so much so that I am feeling on the edge of losing control!!
So, to help me stay 'on the edge' and not fall off into a dark woolly hole I have made a list and prioritised what I need to do first and last, lets see if it helps!
First I have to finish the baby blanket because baby Chloe is already here!!
Then it will be Georges jumper as I am knitting size 3-6 Months and he is 3 months old and growing fast!
Then the Beret for the shop or winter will be over....
Then my daughters aran jumper as she chose the yarn in April..
Then lastly the stuff for me
Now this does help, however it makes me sad as the stuff for me takes a back seat again so should I rearrange my list and put me up there first somewhere....??
No, I will stick to the list and try not to add anything to it and eventually all my projects will be finished. I am sure I am not the only knitter who has this problem and I know I have so much to do because quite simply, I love yarn and I love knitting........and its not all bad, here are some of the projects I actually have finished recently...
I hope you are all knitting happily and finishing your projects
Speak to you soon
