These are a few of my favorite things....tra la






Just some of the projects I have on needles at the moment. Note how many of them are fingering yarn. Remember what I told you about fingering yarn...and the size 1 or 2 needles. What does it say about me that I love this stuff and these needles and I AM INCAPABLE OF SUSTAINING INTEREST IN ANYTHING THAT TAKES MORE THAN 3 days? Do you think I am setting myself up for failure? Or, am I just trying to challenge myself, to move beyond my comfort zone--as I'm doing with this Blog 365? Pro or con, answer as you will, making sure to support all of your points with specifics. And no comma splices, goddamit!

  2. What do you think it says about you? Does it matter what I think? I could probably only speak to what I would say about myself and that would be different for you.
    I am once again jealous, this time, of your hand- eye coordination. I cannot knit, crochet, or anything like it...

    Hmmmm, okay - here are my thoughts on this perplexing knitter problem. I have found that if I buy larger needles - the urge to put a project on them hits! Buy more larger knitting needles! By the way - what is the gorgeous yarn in photo #4??? Very nice!

  4. I love the skinny yarn too, but I also love the fat yarn because with it I can knit a pair of mittens in about three hours. Right now I am making skinny yarn socks, but this morning I made mittens from start to finish. Try some big yarns, too.

  5. ~raenwa~: Me too...can't wait to see what they all end up as--and when.

    denise: yeah, I know, but I'm always interested in other people's take on things.

    askatknits: have big needles...lots of them. I associate them with big garments. And I'm too, ahem!, big these days to wear those big garments.

    nina: mittens=New York; useless in northern CA unless one does winter sports--and we know how I am about sports.
