A single project on the go is not realistic and most knitters can relate to the fact that multiple projects on the go is more practical. I am proud to say I am a knitter who likes the satisfaction of finishing! Currently I am working on a Cowichan inspired sweater (free pattern on Canadian Living). Untraditionally, mine is grey and white with hot pink and line green deer on the front and back. I am ½ way up the sleeves and hope to finish this week. There are 4 of us knitting this sweater all with different yarns: mine is made with the “scrata-luscious” Naturgarn I got on sale; another is made from the ultra luxurious Eco Baby Alpaca; another is made from Dream in Colour Smoochy yarn in green and teals; and the other is made from Eco Cascade in blue, cream and a fuzzy brown. It will be cool to see all the sweaters side by side- they are all so different.
Another project I am working on is a ruffled lacy fuzzy wrap designed by Louisa Harding from her latest book “Ruffle It Up!” I am making it out of Rowan Kidsilk Haze but tragically after 4 balls I am 6 rows away from the finish line and have run out of yarn…uuug.
I am also designing a pair of long opera gloves out of Blue Sky Alpaca Royal combined with Tilly Thomas Beaded Silk. I have almost completed one glove. The pattern will be up for sale on the blog and also on Ravelry by the end of the month!
I am also working on the “Dolly” sweater designed by Kim Hargreaves knit in the crazy Zauberball! This 4-ply project will take me forever so I am not giving myself any deadlines.
