I’ve decided to start casting on with wild abandon. I still have three pairs of mittens I will be casting on and finishing before Christmas. I’m highly motivated to get all of the knitting done.
I’ve knit 3 or 4 rows on my cardigan this week. I really like the cardigan, and I think I’ll wear it a lot. I just don’t feel like knitting it right now (hence, casting on all the projects). My goal is to have this sweater done by Christmas.
My socks are moving right along. I’m on the gusset of the second sock. I hope to finish these this week. Once I cast them off I’ll cast on a pair of socks for John. I probably won’t work on them until after Christmas, but it is always a good idea to have socks on the needles.
I started a Double Rib Toddler Hat for Mary-Claire’s baby. I love this hat because it actually stayed on my kids heads. I do not love the join on these needles, so I will probably be putting off working on this.
I’m having a hard time not working on the Sockhead Cowl that I started yesterday. I’m surprised by how purple it is, I was really expecting more blue. When I finish my socks this will probably become my grab and go project.
I’m also working in my Darwinian Evolution cowl. This is really fun to knit because you see the pattern evolve. It is like knitting a self striping sock. I should keep this in my car as emergency knitting, but I will probably keep it in my knitting basket because I really like looking at it.
I hope to finish at least one project this week. I also hope to get two pairs of mittens cast on. I have so much knitting I want to do, but first I must finish project bags for the Weekender finishers.
I hope you have a great week and finish all of your WIPs.

It’s funny, that sock head yarn does look more blue than purple on my screen. That’s such clever yarn dyeing that can create a pattern like that bottom pic.

I’m imagining you running around your house casting on with wild abandon. You cast on one project passionately, then throw it over your shoulder and pick up another one to cast on, etc.

I’m now concerned that you have cameras in my house. You have described my week accurately.

Your projects all look so fun! But if you don’t like the join on those needles, why not just switch to new needles?

They are the only 2.5 needles I have. I suppose I could just change to 3s, which I really should do. I think you’ve talked me into it.

Well, that wasn’t hard! You’re an easy sell.

All your WIPs look great! I may have just ordered some of that Feederbrook farm yarn based on how cool your cowl is turning out 🙂

I’m glad I enabled you to get more yarn. It is so cool how it knits up. They are not colors I would normally go for, but I love it even though it is stretching what I normally knit with.

I’ve been wanting to try a planned pooling project for a while now – glad it is working up so well. It looks great!

[…] I do not have any socks on the needles at the moment, which is highly unusual for me. I’m going to try to finish Elliot’s mittens before I cast on new socks, but we shall see if that happens. I am not lacking in WIPs. […]
