(I try to keep myself to 1, sometimes 2 "in progress" projects at a time. I find if I have too many unfinished things on the needles I get stressed out. Since this is technically supposed to be something I enjoy doing {most days} it's best to not stress me out. Hence you don't often see more than 1 or 2 things going at a time around here.)
I'm loving the latest little scrappy blanket.
Simple and knits up fast, although I am worried that it might be a bit short in length. It's always hard to say. I cast on 220 stitches, but the SK2tog, PSSO might be "scrunching" it up a bit. Same little rules as always- after a full round of color repeat, I need to weave in the ends, so that I don't feel suicidal at the end of the blanket. My hate for end weaving in knows no limits. I will admit I have some concerns about having enough to be consistent in my color changes, but I'll worry about that as it comes.
Getting Parker back into his routine has meant 2 things... his activities allow me more "portable project" time and more time to knit in general while he's at school. The socks have been seeing this benefit lately...
Remember I want to knit TWO more simple socks this year... so these need to get done.
This is all well and good- my desire to sit and knit is back and I'm doing just that... but my Knitting ADD has also returned and I find myself with all kinds of desires to knit all kinds of things. And so, because I always need to remind myself, knitting is FUN, I'm allowed a little "side" project once these two other projects are off the needles... before getting back to the "to do" list.
Okay- must finish this up and take advantage of my child-free knitting hours!!
