I can't seem to help myself. No matter what I do, I just can't finish one project and begin another. I keep coming up with new projects, and instead of finishing my current one, I just put it aside and knit whatever I feel like next.
Currently, I have three scarves in different stages of completeness. They are actually three out of the six I had hoped to have finished by now. (We see now that it was a bit foolish to assume we could knit and work full-time and be a parent and actually finish a mass knitting project.)
And then this evening while visiting the in-laws, I got the urge to knit a shawl for my husband's sweet grandmother. I had an extra skein of Lion Brand Homespun in Tudor in my bag, and decided to begin a triangle shawl on my size 15s. The yarn had been earmarked for the next scarf, but what the hell; I wasn't going to actually get around to doing the scarves anyway. And the lady is 80-something, she deserves a nice shawl.
I'll post some pics of the work in progress as soon as I find my camera. (Side note: I can't find the 'condom hat', so no pics as of yet.)
Current projects: Three semi-finished scarves and one shawl.
Future projects: Argyle pullover for the Monkey, matching baby ponchos for the Monkey and the neighbor's kid (so that when she and the Monkey play together, they'll look freaking adorable!) I'd also like to knit a Mario-themed pullover for the Monkey. She's a geek in training, it will be perfect!
And maybe somewhere in there I'll get around to some legwarmers. The 80s are back, baby!
