Firstly, I'm not under any pressure, I rarely knit for others so it's entirely up to me what I knit and when. It's the deciding that's the problem at the moment.
I'm currently on the last leg of my Ishbel, I'll get it beaded and finished by the weekend I think. I have a couple of summer tops OTN which have been around forever and are likely to be around for much longer before I can be bothered with them again :lol: .
I really wanted to finish the Ishbel before I started anything else so I've resisted casting anything on for the past couple of weeks. I did start a February Lady in some Adriafil Soffio Plus from the knitting group raffle but have decided that I won't have enough to finish it so that will be frogged, it would have been lovely, was knitting up a dream but I only have 5 balls of it and have used almost one whole ball and not yet finished the yoke. I need to find a use for this lovely yarn though. I also had started a Central Park Hoodie in Patons Jet in a lovely bright red but have decided that I probably won't wear it a lot and will get more use out of a Mr Greenjeans in that yarn. My dilemma at the moment is that it takes me rather a long time to knit a garment and I WANT THEM ALL NOW!! I have some Navy Blue Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran which I can see as a February Lady, the red Patons Jet which is destined for Mr Greenjeans and I've just bought some Ethical Twist DK in cardigan/jumper quantities in both camel and baby cream, either of which would make a gorgeous Coraline . I also want to use the Soffio for something and I have some Rowan Summer Tweed to knit Propello, which is the KAL on the Wormhead Hats group on Ravelry. Oh, and I will want to join in the mystery KAL on Wormhead in November too. Almost forgot the Arauncania that I bought with Clothilde in mind too.
So....you see my problem? Too much to knit and not enough time.
Oh my!!! That's a lot of knitting! If it's any consolation, I'm feeling the same way. I'm not allowing myself to cast anything else on until I've finished the body of a cardigan.
ReplyDeleteRe your started Feb Lady; would you have enough yarn to do the body, and leave it sleeveless? Or maybe that would be a bit mad?!
I've got so much startitus at the moment that I'm struggling to find the mojo to start anything if that makes sense! I did think of that option with the Feb Lady, I've seen some with little cap sleeves and they look nice. I haven't plucked up courage to frog it yet as it's really fluffy yarn and is so hard to frog so I may just leave it otn for now and decide at a later date.
