Ok, I am officially overwhelmed by too many projects underway. Is that why I have been reading?
Anyway, as I started going through various bins, bags, and boxes (the essential three “Bs” of knitting storage) I discovered this simple cowl.
cowl? Would you believe long tube?
which was all finished except for the second edge/end.
It was a matter of minutes to manage a few rows of seed stitch and bind it off. Color it finished. Now all I have to do is find it a home.
Meanwhile, back to the reading!
I try to make sure I only have one WIP going at one time in each of a very few categories. For instance, socks are in the pedestrian portable category, but also the fine gauge category, so anything else I start now needs to be coarser gauge and probably a home, quicky, or car project. Crochet doesn’t count against knitting WIPS but maybe it should. Maybe that way I could get more of the motifs attached to the bodice-in-progress and finally free up the dress form. I do use the motifs for car fiddling but they’re too absorbing for conversational work. Hmm, maybe if I schlep the dress form down the the rec room I’ll work on it during TV evenings.
