Now that Knitters' Day Out has come and gone - and what an eventful weekend it was - with much fanfare, joy, knitting, beading and other pursuits, it's time to get serious. Yes, serious. Serious about finishing our projects, getting projects made for the holidays and that all-important gift-giving time. We talk about this every year. And I don't know about you but I will attempt half-heartedly for a short time. And then someone will stop in the shop with a cute little project that everyone is doing and of course, I have to stop my current project and start this new one. And then we are off and running, starting a new project expecting to wake up in the morning and found that I can now knit while I sleep or the "knitting fairies" finished it while I slept. If pigs could fly!!!
So let's get serious. I currently have 3 projects on needles (oh, don't look behind the couch, puleeeeese) and I am going to finish them. Yep, this week even. I might not sleep but I am going to finish them. BECAUSE.......I saw several projects I want to start. Oho, you thought I was just trying to be good? Nawwww.
You see, Honey goes to OC to play golf next week. When he goes I don't sleep. So I got the bright idea a few years ago that I would knit a bunch of projects while he was gone. It might have worked if I had chosen small things like hats, fingerless gloves, etc but no, I chose a coat- yep, a coat. Think I might finish that overnite? Not a chance. So my goal this year is to choose small things and maybe I just might finish one or two. And I'm not counting the ones on needles either.
We have gotten in some Heather Linen Stitch Scarf kits from Schaefer Yarns and I'm dying to make one. Maybe I'll start with that. Don't know how to steek? Sign up for Rae-Ann's class.
