I seem to be totally unable to concentrate on any one project.
This week I have worked on a lace smoke ring using Elizabeth Lavold Silky Wool - 4 pattern repeats completed; knitted more on the UFO top in Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk and a quick scarf in Kidsilk Haze to give to someone as a leaving present. ( It was so quick that I didn't even take a photo of it before I handed it over!) The common denominator is silk and all of the yarn was from stash.
For the scarf, I used 6mm needles, cast on 30 sts then I knit 5 rows, knit 1 row wrapping yarn 2x round needles and repeated dropping the extra loops until bored finishing with 5 rows of Knit.
I'm hoping I can get over this grasshopper phase before the start of the Olympics!
Posted by Yvonne at February 4, 2006 04:30 PMI am so impressed and in awe... those all sound like really demanding projects, and I can barely contend with one at a time. Silk!? I'm suffering (well, perhaps hot suffering, but it does give me a headache if I don't put it down after 30 minutes) with tencel!
Posted by: Jay at February 8, 2006 03:58 AMI totally understand how that is. I think I have about ten different projects planned. And absolutely no idea of when I'm going to start any of them.
But at least you've started.
And good luck with the olympics. I'm too much of an ecelctic crafter to concentrate on something that long. I'm lucky if I finish scarves.

Posted by: Pally at February 7, 2006 04:35 AMYou sound like me! It's Olympic training alright - getting the multi-wip obsessions out of our system before light-up day.
Glad your day at work went well yesterday - I suppose the bus knitting is a plus point!
