WIPs or I'm Very Distractable

There's really nothing wrong with me!? Sometimes I wonder though when it comes to knitting. I have so many wips in progress that I'm embarrassed to tell how many. I'm sure there are many reason that I do this. I'll list a few. First, I browse Ravelry far too often and thus get so many ideas of what I want to make. Next, I'm impatient to see if I can really accomplish that new technique and if it will really look as good as the pattern says it will. Thirdly, I keep telling myself that I've got to keep a small project on hand just for the car.  And it's got to be simple. Next,  there's always a birthday to knit for. Or a new baby's arrival. Sometimes too, I get special requests and I'm not likely to turn them down. After all, it justifies buying more yarn, right? Finally,  there's always a luscious yarn that I can't wait to knit with. It's very tactile, you see.

 Let's just list a few of these delinquent projects here.  And then tomorrow I'll list a few more.  And the next day after that.  Until I'm done.  Maybe that will shame me into finishing.  Or maybe not.

First up is a chevron cowl. Not that it is the oldest but because it's sitting on my lap right this minute! Hopefully, I'll be finishing it today.  But I think I'm only half way done.  So unless I sit and knit all day and ignore my house cleaning chores it's not likely to get done.

I've managed to start and almost finish another sock. This one was started because I needed more scraps to make my next pair of "crazy socks"! Only I didn't want to break open a new skein. After all, these socks were suppose to be scrappy. Turns out this yarn is not suitable for the scrappy socks I had in mind. I need tweedy type and this is more "flecky". Plus this yarn is 100% acrylic (YUCK!) and the scrappy yarn is 25% wool and 75% acrylic. Really, much nicer. Most of the socks I've been knitting for gifts is from this 25/75 blend so if you look at your latest gift you'll find an example of yarn I'll be using for the scrappy socks.

That's it for today! Wednesday (maybe): White Dragonfly Wings and a Scrappy Afghan.

Technology

I give up. Some things are best just left alone. Too much technology makes my brain hurt so I'm thinking of scrapping the idea of uploading pics from my phone or tablet. Or maybe not. 

It seems it can be done. So I need to figure it out. Well, I do like puzzles! In the meantime, these beads can be found at www.mydreambeads.com
