Finish my knitting.

i just started knitting last week, and i’ve started this really simple hat. but its really boring. but i really really want to finish it.

...but will be getting back to it soon.

I am going to knit everyday on the bus and at home when watching tv. I have to finish this before xmas.

I started working on the baby outfit again, last Monday, and am now more than halfway through a sleeve. I finally seem to be hitting my stride with this, moving faster, and only having a bit of a problem with the tension when I cast on (thanks to taking that knitting break).

*Edit. I finished the first sleeve on Sunday morning… (May 11th).

Late last week, I finally finished the front of the baby’s top that I’m working on… the only trouble is, it’s now getting on my nerves. Too much time sitting in one place, fighting tight wool/stitches (in places), trying to not lose any stitches, and occasionally getting whacked repeatedly in the upper arms by the needles – I’m feeling too antsy for this.

I picked up the peach wool project again, this past Sunday… I’m thinking of pulling apart the blue blanket, and using the wool for a Warm Up America project (or something similar).

The picture above is the pattern I’m working on right now, with the knitting itself; my knitting looks messy in comparison, but it looks better in person (except for the edging – it just doesn’t look quite right to me. This is where my perfectionism comes out; I’ve strongly resisted pulling it apart and starting again. That said, at the moment, I don’t think it would look much better if I did. ;) )

I’ve been really terrible about making any progress with this, and now ever since my friend taught me how to crochet, that’s all I want to do. I’m so much better at it, and I swear it seems MUCH faster than knitting.

I have one blanket and one scarf I started knitting, and I learned how to knit about a year and a half ago. I only learned to crochet a little over a month ago and I’m already on scarf number 5.

Apparently I was meant to crochet, not knit.

I have the worst habit of starting a project that looks interesting and then finding something else I want to do. Just horrible! It’s not bad to have a couple projects going on at one time but when you have about 30 things going it’s kind of silly! So, my goal is to finish up a little baby jacket even though the kid I have been knitting it for has outgrown it. Oh Well!

I started a lap blanket for my father 4 years ago. He knows about it and can’t wait to get it which just makes me feel that much more guilty! It might be 1/8 of the way complete… pittiful. My goal is to knit one row a day… sounds like nothing… but if I had been doing this all along it might be done by now :-D Wish me luck!

Ok…I have finished my scrap afghan and my fluffy scarf. All I have left from the list I made is a wave afghan.

But…I started some more projects. >.< So, new list.

Finished the sock already!
