On the Needles 1/9/2015

I have a lot of stuff on the needles. Most if is stuff I don't want to work on, I lost my mojo, but I really need to. I want this stuff done so I don't feel bad and I can move on to more things.

My goal is to have all of this stuff done and off the needles by the end of March.

Hermione's Everyday Socks - Almost done.

Plain Vanilla Striped Socks - Pattern from Yarn Harlot book.

Jared's Seattle Hat - Michele by Sarah Montie - This will be my 3rd hat from this pattern. Love it.

Kimono Cardigan - I have one front done, this is the back, still have 2 sleeves and another front to do.
Vanilla Latte Socks - I am on the heel flap on first sock. I shouldn't have started these but I really wanted to try my new needles.

Dr. Who Scarf - Not very far on this one at all and it has been sitting around for over a year.


Relax Shawl - Also been sitting around for awhile. It was supposed to be for a Camp Loopy last year but didn't make it. I do a row every now and then.

Mrs. Winkle - May have to tink and start over. I think I made an error. This is one of my long term projects my goal is to do a loop every couple of days.

Matchmaker - My other long term project. I really like this one and I really really want to work on it but I keep telling myself do some of these other things first.


I also know my knitting time will decrease a little. I usually only knit or do hand work at night and I have a wool applique and hand applique BOM starting soon that I told myself I would keep up with. Oh! there is just not enough time in the day. I spend way too much time procrastinating. I wonder if they make anti-procrastinating pills. HMMMM

Here is to hoping I can reach my goals with out the "I wanna start something new bug" hitting me. Of course Loopy Academy starts soon and I really shouldn't do it but I will probably end up doing it and I really don't have time to do it but I know I will probably do it. Not good, Not good at all.

For more pretty's head on over to Judy's.

  1. I have a lot of projects too, and that tug to start something new is very strong. I have been trying to pull a few to the front of the line and finish them up. I am going to try for making myself finish 2 items before I can start anything new.

  4. Lots of pretty projects. Maybe commit a day to work on the item closest to finished then knit whatever. I'm struggling with mojo issues too.

    1. That is my goal. Actually my goal is to have everything on my list for both quilting and knitting done by the end of March. That way I will still have 9 months to do some things I want to do. I figure I may still have the cardigan and my 2 long term projects left but that will make me feel a little bit better.

  5. You have a bunch of pretty knitting projects, that's for sure. I would be hard pressed to decide which to do first too, unless I really needed an article for the weather. I'm intrigued by how many different sock needles you have that you can start so many different ones all at one time. I have 1 set of dpns and just got some circular ones for Christmas. Now I can have two socks going at once. It's a good thing I don't have more or I'd be tempted to have lots of them started too. It is just so addicting. Have fun. Will be watching your progress.

    1. I bought my needles in a pack so I have tons. My original goal was to have 2 of each size dpn's so that I could work on my socks 2 at a time (old school style) but that never really worked out. So now I want to finish these because my goal is to do 2 at a time on a circular. It just always seemed like I needed a needle that I didn't have. I also have found that having different weights and needles on different projects allows me to take a little break and helps my hands. Well...that is my story and I am sticking to it.
