Works-in-a-Pile

Thank you so much for your comments on all my posts. I sometimes get busy/distracted/forgetful and don't reply to them very quickly, but I'm caught up now and I hope you'll keep commenting. :)

I have loads of knitting planned for the evening, lots of Grey's Anatomy to catch up on in the next 12 days (when it will magically disappear from Hulu), and some soup to make (it's soup weather?! Crazy!), so I have to keep this short, but I'll give you a shot the pile of stuff I'm making and a list of what's in the pile and you can see if you can discern what's what, haha.


A shawl, a sock, my Ginny's Cardigan, a little stuffed bunny (that hasn't been stuffed yet), and a baby sweater I am going to try to finish before tomorrow evening. I'm focusing on smaller projects this fall to give myself room to finish up a huge pile of unfinished sweaters and to use up a stash I'd like to get a bit more under control. I kind of like it, really. It's refreshing to need only a few days or a week to knit up something cute or useful or gift-worthy.

What do you prefer to knit? Does a sweater or blanket or other large project give you greater satisfaction in the finishing than a smaller one or is it the other way around for you?

  1. I love the colours of your WIPs, they kind of all match together.

    I try to only have one bigger WIP and then have several smaller WIPs. It's nice to have the feeling of regularly finishing something at least. There's always an unfinished pair of socks lying around.

    1. Thank you! Sometimes my color choices are all over. :) I like your style. I could (and should) get used to that sort of set-up.

  2. Sounds like you are in a great creative state! I'm actually kind of doing the same right now. That sock yarn looks so pretty, what is it? I am definitely all about the larger projects, but they burn me out sometimes. Also, why is it cold everywhere but here? We are still super hot in the South!

    1. It's Koigu KPPPM. I think I have burned out on the big projects for now, so I know what you mean. It gets cool here, then heats back up. I'm not sure what's going on. :P
