A little interlude in the travel stories to talk about my WIPs as it is that time of year when the Ravelry group finishes all their projects ready to start the next year fresh.
Although I have been trying to keep my WIPs low this year, the long trip caused a buildup. I had some projects that I didn’t manage to finish before the trip and didn’t want to take with me and there are some projects that I didn’t quite finish while I was away. So I am starting this WIP season with nine projects. Which is the same number as last year, the difference being that last year I had started a few projects to take on a trip.
Three of these projects are blankets and were on the needles last year; one of the blankets is an ongoing project and will not be finished anytime soon which leaves me eight projects to finish in three months. Usually I would work on the projects in order of cast on but two of the projects have a small amount of work required to finish, so I will work on those first. Then I will finish the mitred squares blanket. I am on the last border and it is all knit but it is big so have to be in a comfortable position to work on it. Four of the projects are relatively easy knitting, although one is a fingering weight double layer hat so although the knitting is easy there is a lot of it. I will probably leave that one to last or second to last depending on the other blanket. This is one of the year long blankets I made last year. It is in three strips which need to be joined, and I haven’t decided how I want to do that. I know I don’t want to sew them together and I don’t really want to pick up stitches and join them. I’m thinking of some sort of crochet join. But what sort has not been decided.
Hopefully by the end of the year I will have completed six of the eight projects.
