beginning a Baby Surprise Jacket
October 2018 |
My knitting has slowed to a crawl. Normally, I have three or four active knitting projects, but currently I have two - cotton dishcloths (they really shouldn't count as a project) and a newly started Baby Surprise Jacket. I have a lace scarf on another set of needles that has been stalled since June 2017. I need to put the project bag by my chair to work on in the evening, but I've lost interest in it. It's time to finish the scarf or to frog it.
Do you have a project that has been neglected for a year or more?
That lavender yarn color is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNo hangers-on here. I frog pretty quickly if a project isn't grabbing my attention anymore.
Oh! I love that yarn. It will be a beautiful baby surprise jacket. No, I don’t have any knitting projects hanging on. I just finished some socks that I’d had in my project bag for a couple of months, but other than that everything is new. Well, my nine patch knitted squares aren’t exactly new, but I finish square every month or so to add to the collection. So it’s an ongoing project and probably will be for another couple of years. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteI try to have only one project at a time, right now I am working on a baby blanket for the hospital.
ReplyDeleteI've got so many I'd be ashamed to list them. This is prime knitting time for me and I still can't go near anything itchy.
ReplyDeleteI plead the 5th. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that scarf!
ReplyDeleteOh neglected projects... the poor Empire cardigan has been neglected on and off for almost two year!!! I just finished the Burlington sock, so I should be getting back to it, but I can't seem to find the energy to pick it up. And I'm so close to being done!
I just went through my stalled projects this morning and ripped out a few! I am starting a new sweater today! Yippee!
ReplyDeleteI went thru my projects that had stalled about a year ago and either threw them out or frogged them. I'm pretty much a single-project person - that just works better for me. I do have a scrappy blanket in progress that I have not knit on in months (a year??), but I keep adding sock yarn to the project bag after I complete a pair of socks. Someday....
ReplyDeleteThere are more than a dozen quilting projects that have been abandoned for more than a year. I'm ashamed to say it but maybe admitting I have a problem is the first step to solving the problem.
ReplyDeleteI have projects that are way more than a year old. I'll get to them some day!
ReplyDeleteI presently have 8 projects that are running concurrently and I have frogged at least 2 from "the back burner" that didn't get far off the ground from months back. I am raising some chickens now so, they get a good bit of my knitting time now but, they are a comfort thing just like my knitting.
ReplyDeleteI dont think I have such a project right now. I do have some new yarn and a fun plan for it. I tend to knit just one thing until completion. I admire all of you who have several things going on at once.
ReplyDeleteer, um... knitting or quilting. Last year I changed a bit and finished a sweater project from 1988 or so. This year I pull out a ridiculous poinsettia on black pullover sweater. I can only stand to do a row or two at a time so it's back on the back burner. (If I could at least get the front done everything else is plain black....) And, quilting projects that are in retirement for a while -- too numerous to mention. Although I regularly take out an old project and try to finish it.
ReplyDeleteYes, several knitting projects that have been set aside and I’ve not gone back to fix or finish or frog!
ReplyDeleteyes...many...I prefer to ignore them:)
ReplyDeleteLove the baby surprise pattern; it's so fun to make. I'm just not sayin' how many projects are in the works! At least I now know where most of them are.......
