It's hard to keep working on something when you never see any progress on it. So things like shawls, snoods, and other highly repeative projects get lost in the shuffle simply due to it's boring and you're not getting anywhere!
You are, of course, actually getting somewhere every time you actually pick up the needles/hooks/pin cushion. As long as you keep working on it, you'll eventually finish.
So time to try something new. In an effort to actually motivate myself to finish these.
Current projects
Knitting
- K's shawl. On needles for over a year now, and I'm overwhelmingly bored with it. Also nearly out of yarn which is the bigger issue.
- Balaclava thing. Really just needs to be switched over to longer needles, but is at a standstill until i find my size 5 circular needle.
- Cable practice. Decided this morning that this is going to be the shoulder strap for another shopping bag. Which means I need to pick up another skein of the yarn, as I only bought 1 skein and I can either have new socks or new bag at the moment.
Crochet
- Snood. well, it might be one eventually. currently, it appears to be a doily like what my grandmother used to make. except uglier. will definately need to be blocked... which I don't know how to do really.
- J's handwarmers. I don't even have yarn for these at the moment- his Ravenclaw yarns got lost in one of the moves over the past 4 years (only 4? really?)
Sewing
- 2 New corsets (me). Just need pattern and hardware for Steampunk as fabric has been picked out. Jan 2011 RenFaire is going to be standard pattern, but fun things with boning.
- Steampunk/ Firefly/Serenity coat (me). Have the pattern and the fabric, just lacking motivation. Jan 2011
- J's steampunk coat. technically, I just need to offer moral support on this one, but I'll probably end up doing more to make sure it's done by SteamCon. Jan 2011
- A's Flemish garb. this will be fun! May 2011
