I gathered up all the knitting projects that I could find to sort through them. That’s the lot of them.
In that pile are SEVEN shawls, two hats, one of a sock pair, a sweater, fingerless mitts, a washcloth, and a sock yarn scrap blanket.
Good grief. My “startitis” has gotten out of control. I clearly need to finish some of these before starting anything else. This is quite sad, since I’m a slow knitter at best, and have SO MUCH lovely yarn in this house waiting to be cast on.
I’m picking one thing out of that mess to focus on.
That is one of the hats. It will be a beanie style thing, I’m just jerryrigging this on the fly. I cast on 80 stitches, did ribbing until I couldn’t stand it any longer, then knit for awhile. I just started the decreases at the top.
This is some very precious Peace Fleece left over from a pair of socks I made decades ago. The color, Lena’s Meadow, is sadly discontinued. I wish I’d bought a sweater quantity of this when it was available.
I swear I’m not starting anything else for now. We shall see how this goes.
One at the time. Put the others in a cupboard. It’s supposed to be fun. Not a chore
Oh, I resembled that at the beginning of this year. I went with the “one start for every two finishes” method. I am down to one shawl, one scrap blanket and two cross stitch projects.
And I have a pages long list of new projects I that I really really want to start. Just not going to let things get quite so out of control afain.
Nice looking hat.
I feel better after looking at your pile; mine is not very much worse.
I have put each UFO in its own bag and hung the bags from the pegs on a wall thing my lovely husband made for me. This sort of thing can make you feel that you have made progress for quite a while, so you might try it. Best of luck to all of us with the UFO wars.
I need to have many projects on the go, always.
I like the hat so far.
I think that your plan of concentrating on one thing at a time should work. It’s motivating to finish something especially after a long time.
Haha. And now you know why I’m a “spreadsheet” knitter. I’ve created a calendar from an excel sheet so that I can list all the projects on needles each day. It stays on the calendar until it’s an FO. I only allow 5 slots for each day as having more than 5 projects on needles tends to stress me out. (But I do know how to add extra rows if needed.) I enjoy color coding each project so my days tend to look colorful.
But starting things is so much fun!!
This is inspiring! I have who knows how many started projects strewn about in bags.
Good intentions!!! 😅🥰
