What's Next?

With the Silky Wool Cardigan finished, I postulate to origin planning my side yesteryear side project.

God Forfend...

Couldn't perhaps imagine beingness "in betwixt projects" when it comes to my knitting.

I'm non certain I desire to accept on exactly about other sweater immediately.  I definitely don't postulate a sweater together with I discovery it hard making a sweater that Thaddeus looks practiced inwards together with enjoys wearing.

Knitting a scarf or shawl or lid for arts and crafts demo sales seems together with then out of season.  It's together with then hard knitting something that has no feel of urgency to finishing it.

I get got the Millard Fontenot blueprint for The Brethren Sock that I'm working (see below) together with I've too got the Knitted Sheet that volition endure an ongoing WIP for years.

Should I become dorsum to the sweater projection that came inwards minute the concluding fourth dimension I surveyed yous all?


The minute alternative was the Briar Rose yarn called Wistful.


It looks similar I get got well-nigh 2,000 yards of worsted weight yarn (50% Alpaca, 20% Merino together with 20% Silk).  Maybe I'll swatch it upward to encounter what I tin come upward up with.

I've ever called myself an aggressive knitter.  When non-knitters say me how much patience I must bring to knit, I say them it's quite the opposite...my knitting mantra is "NEXT ROW...NEXT ROW!!!"

Hardly peaceful, serene or patient, I know.  But it is how I've teach then prolific inwards my knitting.  I'm non an extremely fast knitter, then I bring to knit a lot to gain equally much equally I do.

Last night, I constitute myself closed to the fourth dimension Thaddeus too I would survive going to bed too I was working on a babe blanket.  I kept thinking I was going to survive able to complete this projection earlier nosotros went upward to bed, knowing inwards the dorsum of my hear that at that topographic point was no means I could knit quite that fast.  Turns out, I was left amongst 2 too a one-half rows of knitting, too it pained me to caput upward to bed amongst then footling left to complete the project, since I knew I would survive blogging the adjacent morning.

After a restless nighttime of worrying almost having left something then closed to finished, I got upward this morning time too I introduce to y'all my electrical flow WIP instead of an FO inwards the Current Knitting department of the blog.
