WIP Wednesday- How's it going?

Last week I confessed to having eleven projects on the go and being on a cast on ban, so how's that going? Well, I now have twelve WIPS. Huh? How can that be? OK, so I cast on a couple of stash busters. Of the original eleven I frogged one and got two more to finishing stage. The two scrap busters just need some finishing too. A bit of work with a needle and a spot of bead shopping will get my total down to a more respectable seven. I am having trouble resisting the pull of beautiful new projects though.

I acquired the yarn for a couple of projects this week. Some for Christmas knitting- I am trying to be organised and start early (Is mid October early? I suspect maybe not). I have also taken a few steps out of my knitting zone and bought enough chunky yarn to make a sweater. It was from a destash and I have a pattern in mind, some fudging will be required as it is not quite as chunky as the pattern requires.

Mmmmm, soft and blue.

Must. Resist. Casting. On!

    I've only been crocheting and knitting for less than a year (crochet more so) so I'm still sort of experimenting, I really wanted to make some Christmas gifts but that might have to wait until next year. I'm in awe of people that just know what they need & get it!

    I have that exact yarn and shade in my to-do pile as well. I think it's going to be a (Christmas gift) hat for a brother-in-law. Good luck with your projects.

    That yarn is gorgeous! The LYS I just went to have it and I could barely resist. Good thing my husband was with me and kept me in check!

    That yarn looks lovely and soft. Don't worry about 12 Wips, when you have over 100 and bypass me then you may need to worry. By then I may have over 200 though.

    LOL, I was seriously thinking about starting a notebook list of everything I have started, but that seems like too much work. Would be faster (and shorter) to list what I have finished! Very pretty blue.
