I can’t believe that I am writing that when I have so many projects on the go. In reality the only reason I have so many projects is the scrappy crochet projects and in a way they are just one project as I use leftover yarn on each project in turn until the yarn is used up. And one of my goals for this year was to use up my fingering weight leftovers.
Although I want to keep my number of WIPs to a low number, I find myself in the position without a grab and go project. When I didn’t have anything that fit this category, I always had my mitred square project. Now that is complete, what type of project will fit the need?
The three projects I have on the go require some concentration. The colourwork mitts require constant looking at the pattern, the Tunisian Crochet pattern uses a stitch pattern that requires close attention and I am on the lace section of a cardigan which is fine for getting together with knitting friends but not for dinner with my husband as I would have to refer to the pattern on every other row. I was wishfully thinking that this would soon become my easy project as the body is worked in stocking stitch but I need something now.
I need something, but what? The only criteria was yarn had to be in my stash. I haven’t started any socks this month because I am saving sock projects for our travels later in the year; but it was beginning to feel like it was going to be socks. And then I was thinking about what projects had fit this category at the end of last year and I remembered the crochet shawl. I really love that pattern and it was easy to memorize.
The designer has a number of one skein projects and I am going to look though those to see if there is a different one I wish to try. I have decided on the yarn and it is already wound so just need to get something started.
