WIP's (works in progress)

What is needed is a brief comment on what is bogging the plot down on this blog. First, and for most, it's summer. It's hot. Everything runs slower at this time of year.

WIP #1 - I have started a wrap for a Christmas gift for a special little one.

Started as something fun to do while sitting in the air conditioning and watching a good movie. The pattern is a combination of two stitch patterns from a book off the shelf.

The need to run more than one project also carries the problems of putting down and picking up these things, according to my flighty whims, and recapturing the moment. Or at least, the right count in the pattern for the next stitch.

To help with this, I have turned to using numbered stitch /place holders.

WIP #2 - It died. I was participating in the great SOCK WARS III. I was to participate in something bigger than just me knitting in my office. The plans were to knit an extra 6 hours a week to get it done - RIGHT.

Well the missile finally landed in my lap -

I must know turnover my weapons (mail my socks) to my assassin. (something that is also overdue.)

WIP #3 - So to console my need for life, I took up a fresh pair of circular needs and started a half-circle blanket for a baby-to-be-named-at-a-later-date. (Note the use of numbered place holders again.)
