| Flowers, because. |
I'm on target to finish that baby cardigan this week and hopefully work on my pumpkin socks. I won't make the My Sister's Knitter KAL deadline, but honestly, that's OK. I never make the KAL deadlines anyways, ha!
1. Child Sophisticate -- yes, yes, I know again, another small people knit AND another pattern repeat, but what can I say? Someone has asked/requested and you know, I've never done one in green or a bigger toddler size.
2. Finish a cardigan I have had on the needles since January or so. I stopped knitting it because the weather out here was so warm. Yes, it is still warm. Hellooooo drought. I have completed the body, so now it's just the rest.
3. Need to knit a hat. Just need to. Probably a Turn A Square, Jared Flood because its a fun/simple knit. Oh, and there is DEFINITELY yarn in the stash for a hat ... or two. ahem ahem.
4. Another cardigan. I've been in love with Uniform for a while. It speaks to the simplicity I truly am (stylistically), but allows me flexibility in pattern which I always crave -- I have not decided which components I'm going to use for my Uniform, yet. However, that's part of the excitement of this project. I have some stash yarn options for this one too. The pattern was a birthday gift from a very kind and generous Andi.
5. Handwarmers. Simple ones. I just want to knit some for myself stockinette with some pretty worsted yarn that does all the "work" for me.
And with those 5 (well 6 if we rope in the pumpkin socks), I think I've sealed my fall/winter line-up. There will be some other small knits mixed up in there, but I feel good about this.
The undercover secret list of distractions
- A little girl cardigan for the girl with the curls, CL.
- Coffee sleeves for a school fundraiser in school colors black and yellow! (though uniforms are black & white, thank goodness)
- Socks, delicious, easy traveling, best yarn ever socks.
- Maybe a shawl. Maybe a husband scarf, maybe a cousin cowl ... oh so distracted already.
Everyone seems to have a bad case of startitis-including me! Those flowers make me happy. I haven't seen a bloom in ages.
ReplyDeleteStop!!! I am already snowed under with future projects! I don't need anymore distractions.
ReplyDeleteI'm working up to a cardigan too. I need to finish a never-ending scarf first though. On and on and on. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteUniform is an attractive sweater.
ReplyDeleteI love yarn that does all the work for me. Too many people use a complicated pattern with this type of yarn and the pattern gets lost. Why not just let the yarn be the star it wants to be?
I have knit Turn A Square a few times and it is a wonderful pattern and doesn't take much time to finish at all. I took a peek at the Uniform sweater and I love it! May have to add that one to my queue of knitting desires.
ReplyDeleteLove the Turn a Square Hat. Great look!
ReplyDeleteYou folk with your knit lists amaze me. Im so fickle I just knit one thing and jump to the next willy nilly!~
I never make the deadlines either. I *might* make it with the pumpkins socks, but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteA book shop here in Orlando wants me to knit up some coffee sleeves to sell in her shop. Do you have a favorite pattern for them? Not saying I'm going to do it, but I'm thinking about it. LOL
What is a deadline? As far as work I can follow them but knitting no way. I have a blanket to start, about 50 million dishcloths to crochet, a sweater in a basket ready to begin, another Olive Twist Shawl to make and Lord know what else.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Wow, that is an impressive list! And I love those tiny distractions. I hesitate to count my UFOs, but there are lots! Sigh......
ReplyDelete*thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteUNIFORM is an awesome pattern. Just looked it up.
ReplyDeleteDeadlines? Other than Christmas, there's no such THANG here
Excellent line-up of Fall/Winter projects!
ReplyDeleteI've never made a KAL deadline, either!
ReplyDeleteLove the Uniform cardigan. It looks so cozy and comfortable.
I do like that cardigan you are loving. Simple but elegant, indeed. I would like some fingerless mitts for me one day soon, more socks, another cardigan...oh there is so much out there to be knit up!
