Well I have been going crazy trying to decide what project to start knitting.
I started the socks for my sockless feet, got to Micheals yesterday and found all the sock yarn on sale.... had to buy more! My husband and I had a spirited discussion as to my "stash". I buy yarn, mostly, with a project in mind. I really would love to just go in and buy a bunch with no purpose other than I just love the look and feel of it.
I got home with my new yarn and decided to try to get a handle on the 2-at-a-time socks. I think that I was way too tired to understand what seemed to me to be quite detailed, easy to follow directions. I frogged that out and thought , "hey, lets start on hubby's new socks!".
Couldn't do that either, I had the one set of needles needed to cast those on, in use with MY socks. OK, back to my heel which I am just about turn. That lasted about ten minutes when I got cold, wrapped myself in the blanket and discovered I could be warm or knit. In that moment, the slanket, snuggy, whatever you want to call it started to make sense to me. That in itself was a scary thought. Might have to go out and buy one today.
I promptly fell asleep wrapped in my flannel sheet, OK time to start today.
I want to know, is it a waste of a resolution to try to finish a project when I start it? I still have to finish my Mom's Birthday blanket before I go to her house the next time. It might be better if I finished it and mailed it to her instead, I have no idea when I might get to Kincardine.
So, now I have to spend the day running around getting drinks for tonight, photos developed for hubby's family, oh and not to forget... figuring our what I will wear for my romantic dinner at the skylon tower. After dinner we are meeting up with friends at a house party, is it cool if I bring my knitting? That is my biggest question. I couldn't hurt to throw it into my bag.....

It's always handy and wise to have a Resolution to finish what is on your needle. Personally I feel if you keep doing and starting projects you will likely never be able to finish them as you are going from one to the other.
ReplyDeleteI usually have some sort of knitting project handy to toss into a bag if we're going out to function. Though I try to always make sure the project is easy to do (pretty mindless) and not all that big. You never know how a function is going to go in a course of a evening or what ever, if you find yourself not being invited into a conversation - why not pull out the knitting. Could likely start an entire slew of conversation starters.
