i have a lot of WIPs on the needles (or rather cables, since i snitch the needles to work on other projects). this is evident by the baker's dozen featured on the side of my blog. some projects, like baby's got blue jeans, is a recent project. i abandoned it so i could work on fair knitting. now that i'm finished with that i should continue. i'm knitting them in size 18 months, and if i don't finish them soon the kiddos will have outgrown them.
my ubatuba sweater is my oldest WIP. i started it 4 years ago and have a dozen inches of knitting for the torso. i think i'm too chicken to cast on the sleeves (it's knit in the round). maybe this will be the year i finally finish the damn thing. i really should finish the sweater, as i'll be up the creek if i run out of yarn, and have to buy from another dye lot (or worse, the yarn gets discontinued!) i can't frog the sweater. it's boucle, which is a bitch to rip out.
i usually have a pair of socks on the needles. socks are great to tote in my purse if i have some idle time (!!!). i started a yoga shawl that i can't wait to finish but it's slow going. i also started a belinda shawl. and i won't even go there with my swirl shawl. oh well. there's my fair knitting for next year!
there's petunia's sock hippo which i haven't cast on yet, and i'll bet it wouldn't take me long to complete, if it's as easy as freddie's sock monkey. and then there's my quilted afghan. i started a block but like the jeans, i stopped so i could concentrate on fair knitting.
maybe if i can get my head into game, maybe i'll get dad's antlers scarf finished in time for christmas.
what kind of WIPs do you have? do you have a lot, or only a few?
