My WIP situation has got to the point where I can't neatly stash all my projects in one place, they are crammed into pockets of available space, hidden from view, unloved and untouched. Despite this, I still want to cast on new projects but I've run into a problem familiar to most non-monogamous knitters, I've run out of project bags. One possible solution is to make some new project bags, but something tells me that this is not the approach I should be taking (well not again, anyway).
Joking aside, I'm not feeling at all happy about this. However, sometimes, when I get overwhelmed, if I face the situation head on I discover that the problem isn't as bad as I thought and I was massively over-inflating everything. Something is telling me that I may be pushing my luck this time.
Item No. 1
Who is this for? my son
Do you even have enough yarn to finish this? No. I don't think I do. I think, I need to frog it but with so much work done I'm struggling to commit to the rip.
Item No. 2
What is it? Hair bow thingy
Who is this for? My daughter
Do you even have enough yarn to finish this? Yes. All I have to do is block it and glue it to a barrette...I have no idea why I haven't done it.
Item No. 3 & 4
What is it? Socks in different sizes (I'm counting this as two pairs)
Who is this for? The bigger pair will be for my son. I've no idea who the smaller pair are for.

Nine projects... That's worse than I thought.
I’d been wondering about some of these projects! I love that blue jumper. What about colour blocking so you don’t have to really rip it all? And the green squares, love them but I have a funny feeling you don’t have enough yarn to make it into something that isn’t a cushion... lap blanket maybe?
ReplyDeletePlans are afoot to save the blue sweater...we shall see.
DeleteThe green squares may end up as the feature of a cot blanket.
In good news, the pink bow has had its ends sewn in and been blocked; I plan to spend this evening burning myself with a hot glue gun...
