Scattered Projects

Now I know why I don't work on more than one thing at a time. My brain is having a hard time lately switching between 3 projects I'm working on. I think maybe the main problem is that my brain just can't deal with having free time to work on non-deadline projects and it doesn't know what to do with itself. Either that or I'm just too lazy to sit down and finish something.

The first is my Black and White Mini Dress from Rebecca #34. This one has been on the needles since October. I managed to finish up the front, but I ran out of white yarn. So that's on hold for a bit til I can wake my brain up enough to remember to order it.

The second is my Aunt's Shrug that was supposed to be done for my wedding. I think she was a little upset it wasn't finished, but hey, I was kinda making my dress and trying to get married here. It's up to the blocking stage and I just don't feel like doing it.

The third (and fourth - I guess) is my Grandmother and Mom's Christmas stockings. Starting early you say? No, it was a gift for 2007. Yes, I am a very, very bad holiday knitter. I think I'll give up on holiday knitting once these are finished. I'm stalling on this project because I think the yarn I bought is too thin (the yarn used in the pattern was discontinued) and I'm hoping I don't have to order something else. So I'm stalling on this one because I'm afraid it just won't work.

New Project

Seems like there has been much "me" knitting going on lately! You have no idea how happy this makes me!

The Teva Durham Slip Stitch Jacket is almost finished and when I saw the Black and White Mini Dress above from the new Rebecca, I had to have it. I received my package super quick from One Planet and I was off. The gauge swatch is drying as we speak.

I also got some Yarn Botanika Radiance in Bloom for another secret project, but til then "me" projects are the order of the day!

Grannie #2 is all finished and I wanted to post a final pic after the weekend, but I left my camera on the couch in NYC. Boo! I hope to get a shot this weekend. I'm really happy how it turned out in the Lanas Puras.

Now I just have to finish up the Slip Stitch Jacket, hopefully by Saturday for my trip to Rhinebeck. It can get a bit chilly up there, so this will be a nice warm choice. I would love to wear Grannie #2, but I get cold so easily!
