on my needles
Thursday, March 24, 2016
I am the type of person that likes to have one or maybe two things on my needles. Having more than that usually makes me a little uneasy. I just don't like having all of those loose ends.
I most prefer having one big project. Usually a sweater. And one small project like Toast or Toasty.
We are home this week for Spring Break, so I've been trying to get my projects organized. Making lists of things to finish and prioritizing which projects to work on first.
Love working on this Classic Elite sweater named Elen. I think I should move this top on the list since it is a Spring/early Summer sweater. The yarn is light and feels so good in my hands. This yarn is just the funnest and makes these socks so much fun to make. Easy to keep in my car for those moments spent waiting. (Except for when I drop my extra needle down in between the seat and the console.)
Almost finished with this wrap. I've kept this project in my car all winter. Simple and easy. I just took it out of my car to try to finish. And because I was afraid the mouse that was in my car (Yes! I had a mouse in my CAR! I left a pizza box in there. DON"T do that!) was going to try to make a nest out of it. I'll share the pattern soon.
The Maine Squeeze blanket. So love this. I can only usually work on this at home as it is quite bulky.
Have a wonderful day, Friends!

DeleteCracking me right up, missy! Never knew you to be a multi-knitter! I always pegged you as so well-disciplined! Now I know you are as naughty as me, hahaha!
ReplyDeletegirlfriend! where have you been?! i DO remember that about you! :)
DeleteI used to knit one project at a time. Now I have three on average. Not ideal. Your three projects look lively. I am drawn to your blue in particular.
ReplyDeletei SO know what you mean, andrea. can't wait to get a couple of these off of the needles!
DeleteLove your projects! I hate when I drop a needle between the seat and console. Grrr. Can almost never find it without getting out of the car to search under the seat. :)

ReplyDeleteYour photos and projects are lovely. Very inspiring. I too have many projects going at once.
ReplyDeleteThe sock is my favorite of this WIP roll. The stripes are color fun.
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is going into my queue. Love it.
ReplyDeleteglad i could help your queue grow! :)
DeleteThe mouse can stay as long as it knits. Otherwise it has to earn its keep and get busy. :)
ReplyDeleteyour plate is full of the most scrumptious fiber.
hahahaha! :) i'm so glad he didn't try to steal some of my fibers!
DeleteKnitting in the car, so I'm not the only one knitting in the carpool or between ballet lessons... I wonder what people who don't knit do in their car? The Ellen top looks very interesting, can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeletei can't even imagine if i wasn't a knitter! all that time without productive hands! it truly is the best!
DeleteLove your projects. I'm so over sock knitting at the moment and I'm not sure why because I love handknit socks and my family will be so disappointed if there aren't socks at Christmas, but I just can't. maybe I'll start toasty for my commute project. :) Hope the mouse goes away! g
ReplyDeletewell, you are just the sweetest to make your family socks!
DeleteDid you finish your Seed Stitch Afghan?
ReplyDeleteooh, your WIPs are all looking lovely, that Elen sweater is going to be amazing! And how can anyone not smile looking at those happy rainbow socks in progress!
