At the end of either the winter or the summer I take works in progress and put them in long-term parking. When the season rolls around again I take them out with full intentions of finishing them.
This summer I finished the “Alexa” vest by Debbie Bliss sweater that I knit in Stella; it had been in long-term parking for 2 years. I did not finish the white short sleeved sweater that will now be going on it’s 3rd year. I still really like the pattern, I just get distracted by new yarn/patterns.
At the end of last winter I put away this Lace Cardigan pattern from S. Charles Collezione, Fall/Winter 2008. I’m knitting it in Ritratto and Kamelsoft.
It will make a great holiday sweater – although what holiday I’m not sure. Sort of depends on when I finish it. The holiday may be “Yay, I finished it”.
As I’m writing this I realize that I have the Squiggle Scarf pattern from Crochet Inspiration to pick up again. The squiggles are crocheted in Kid Silk Haze. It’s been in parking so long, I can’t remember what the green yarn is.
Winkie is not impressed with my good intentions.
Maybe Winkie is upset that all this work on old projects is taking attention away from him?I know Samson and Baru often feel that way. Why pet yarn when you can pet a fluffy puppy, they tell me.
