on the needles - January 2012

[simplykathryn]

I've been knitting, on and off, since I was 8 or so. Some days I feel more energetic about it than others, but when I have the bug I often have several items on the go at once. I am, sadly, quite good at not getting things finished, which is why I tend to stick to smaller things like scarves and socks. That said, I even have a few half-finished socks, which really shouldn't be possible. I have six large plastic boxes of yarn at home that I need to sort and assign a project to, or get rid of - those are the choices. A lot of the time I'll buy one skein, just because I like it, and then what am I going to do with one skein??

So far this year I've finished a shawl for myself:



have started two pairs of socks for friends:





and started a scarf for a friend as well:



We'll see how long this enthusiasm lasts...
