And I haven't even finished this current project!!! I am doing a Kaffe Fassett pattern, an easy one - lots of colour which I like - and done in stripes. It uses 14 colours which wasn't hard to sort out. But, I am already looking at how I could do it with 7 colours instead. I have even worked out which colours to use, but that might change as I have some glitter yarn which I think would look super nice in this pattern. Of course it would need some other colours as well, but that shouldn't be a problem. It's not like I have a shortage of wool in my stash. I will be doing it in 4-ply, as that is what I have the most of in my stash. See, I am trying to use up some of my stash - that has to be a good thing doesn't it?
I'm into crafting, and have way too many UFO'S, and WIP's to list. I thought I'd try this out, to see if it would help me get some of them finished.

UFO's becoming FO's
I've been a really good girl - don't laugh, it's true!!!! I've been working on my pile of UFO's and they are getting finished. True, I have been looking at new projects. But, at least I am getting better at working on one project to the end - not necessarily from the beginning, but I am working on that project for longer than normal. My latest completed project needs blocking, so I've not taken a photo yet. I need to wait for the weather to warm up just a little. I was going to bloke it today, but it's a tad cloudy out there, and don't think it will work. I do have two vests that I should get completed, but this cold weather has triggered the need for me to make fingerless gloves. Got a book from the library the other day, and have a book with winter knits in it. I've started a pair of mittens, and will get them done before I go back to anything else. At least they are only mittens, so shouldn't take too long to knit. I have had to change the pattern just a little by adding four stitches. It means I have two edge stitches at either end of rows.

Follow up to last post
I said I would put up pictures of the shawl I am working on. Well, here they are. This is the same pattern, I am just using different colours.
I am loving the contrast of the second shawlette. They are both sparkly yarn, and working up really nicely in this pattern.
Struggling here
I'm struggling with my knitting. Since finishing the vest, I can't seem to settle on any one project. I am still knitting, but mostly because I have too many on the needles to ignore. I am trying so hard to be a good gork, and get another project finished, but none of them are anywhere near the finish line. Ahh well. . . I keep going, and will do my best to continue to be good. I am knitting a shawlette that I really like. I've made this one before, and it is a pattern that you can use any wool and needles to match. I am doing this one in sparkly yarn, two colours, and I think it looks really nice. Pictures will follow.
