I need a 12 Step Program
PICTURES to be posted later today if possible.
Ok. So you know in the past I have talked about finishing all my projects before cast on any more. Well that therory went out the window as fast as I could say it. I got so depressed the other day when I yet again found more projects to add to my list. After writing them all down it looked like I would never have fun knitting again. There are reasons that they were not finished in the first place.
So after talking to a friend who said how she handles it is this: Finish 1 project Cast on 2 Project... Cool, I like her idea better then mine. NOW remember she is also owner of the LYS. LOL. But so as to pick myself up from feeling so blue. I decided to have some fun. YEAP that's right CAST ON is exactly what I did.
I recently was called a "Bad Influence" by someone KELLY who I think we are a bad influence on each other. Well, she made this adorable Shrug/Capelet and I thought about it over and over and over and looked at the yarn that would make it up so nice. And I don't have anything like that. I must do it. Since I talked her into cast on and joining another KAL it was the least I could do for her... COPY her. Ok, not that I wanted to copy her exactly but the color is the same and the pattern is the same. I am making the shrug which is a copy of an Anthropology Cardigan. Kelly's Version is HERE and the Origianl is here by PeonyKnits. It is very easy to adapt to your measurements and it is very similar to OSW (One Skein Wonder's) Shrug, which is what I frogged. So techniquly I finished 1 project and frogged another and am going to frog one more.. so in therory I can cast on 6 items.. WOO HOO.... I am off to think about this.
Yesterday while at the LYS I got the items to make the knitty.com beaded wristlets. I can not wait to start them but I need to wait since I don't have the beads as of yet. Darn... but here is what I have found out now. Is that I better plan out projects better. Frog them if you don't like them and work them if you do. Don't leave piles around... Ya right we shall see just how long this will last.
Stay tuned for more adventures in my knitting experience.

I really like that shrug...if i hadn't just bought one at old navy. oh what am i saying in don't have time to cast on something new...do i? see you aren't the only one with a problem!
It's a hopeless situation, Janet. My DH is always saying, "now what are you working on . . ." Sue
I don't think a twelve steps are enough for me!! heeeelllllpp????
Projects are starting to take over~~Finish one and start three or four more!!
I think the trick is ~~don't ever finish anything!!
I like that idea, finish one cast on 2...works for me!
