Do I Knit?
Well, yes. Except it’s not happening much nowadays. Also the main WIP now involves something I am not allowed to discuss so it will simply have to wait.
I do have a couple of WIPs that stalled. One is the Entrelac Purse from Oat Couture. It’s a great pattern and quite easy to follow. It’s my first entrelac knitting and I admit that it’s pretty unexciting to knit but boyo! It’s handsome once a few rows are done. The only problem is that I once had five skeins of Noro Silk Garden, which I thought would be excellent for an entrelac project. It took weeks to decide on this pattern. I cheerfully set to, then laid it aside when warm weather hit.
That was last year. This winter I figured it would be nice to finish up a few projects and that was the first selected.
Somehow my five skeins of Silk Garden became two. I have no recollection of where the rest has gone. I looked and looked and now believe that I gave some away.
That’s not bad, though, it’s the spirit of fiber crafting. However, I now have a front and a back for an entrelac purse and insufficient yarn to finish it off. It’s been set aside yet again until I decide whether to find a contrasting yarn or to fudge the pattern somewhat. sigh.
The other is a lace bit I started for the sake of using a skein of Kidsilk Haze. I cast on in December 07. I love knitting lace and hadn’t done one measly bit in 07 so had to start a piece before the year was out. I haven’t even made it through a repeat.
I have such nice plans and patterns all over the place but getting my act together isn’t as easy as I’d hoped.
