only TWO projects on the needles!

Mar 06, 2007 9 Replies

My GAWD, I only have two projects on needles right now, I feel absolutely decadent! One's a four inch wide, 8 foot long ugly ugly ugly scarf for someone who requested it. I hate the yarn, and the colours are gross, but what the hay, she asked for it. The other is a two inch wide GORGEOUS 8 foot long scarf, most likely for ME!. I don't have anything on the hooks, nothing on the shuttles, nothing on the lace-pillow (bobbins), and nothing on the wheels! Matter of fact, methinks I'm going to sell both my wheels in order to get the Kromski I covet. Methinks I'm going to sell my Artisan knitting machine too! Working with DH this week, so posting will be sporadic. Take care all! Hugs, Noreen

Good luck Noreen & Don!

Thanks, Dennis and Gail. We've got a small bathroom remodel job to do this week. Of COURSE I can't sleep tonight, aches and pains, LOL! Noreen

I have a couple of long-term UFOs that no longer count as WIPs, as I've scavenged out the needles. In both cases finishing will be a challenging because of my GAUGE issues - both projects have start dates well before I broke my arm and tore up my wrist. I will probably end up ripping them both and putting the yarn back in stash to marinate.

I'm working on a Pi shawl using Elann's Baby Silk, which is 50/50 silk/alpaca in a fingering weight. I'm running under the gun to get this thing finished but I do believe I'm going to miss my deadline...

Otherwise nothing else on needles right now!

Think of it as "Spring Cleaning." Or, maybe a seasonal migration from winter fibers to summer fibers.

All I have on the needles is my on-going sampler of gansey stitches.

Turning into a real slacker, Noreen

I've only got one active project on needles right now. I still have two unfinished items that are in the queue to finish, but as they're both warmer weather things - lightweight lacy cardigan and a lace shawl - they can wait a bit longer.

I recently finished two felted bags, the Tithe cardigan from Noro (worked up in record time for me, about a week and a half start to finish), and a pair of socks (Monkey, from Knitty).

For the 2-inch scarf, are you working the even rows backwards?

Higs, Katherine

Katherine spun a FINE 'yarn':

Nah! Hugs, Noreen
