to begin
to begin I shall talk about finishing
I’m not sure if this is nicely circular or just slightly contrary
A few weeks (read 8 or so) I decided I wanted to make another cool neck shawl. Not a granny shawl or a big lacy thing you wear over your jacket. Something more hipster, that acted like a scarf but had lots of folds and more fiddly. Fiddly to make as the shape is usually semi circular or triangular, and fiddly to wear, as there is lots of layers to arrange and tuck into the drafty gaps (though that ability is primarily why I want one).
I decided on Vertices Unite, by the ultimate hipster knitting designer, Stephen West.
I picked wool out of my stash, I plotted what to wear it with, I perused the pattern.
I went to find a project bag, and decided I needed more project bags
Admittedly there have been project bag fatalities, at least two with socks in progress have gone missing. One of these losses I am basing on not being able to find one size of a set of my nice wooden symphonie sock needles, it would seem unlikely to lose the needles without also losing the project. The other I know I took to Whitby, but when I came back, gone, lost to the sea or in a diesel flavoured haze.
This accounts for 2 project bags, another set would be £10 (I use the clear plastic tolitiries bags you get in sets of 3 on amazon). Except I already had 3 sets of 3 (less 2). Where on earth are they all??
One is at BF’s, holding his WIP.
The others are on my shelves, with projects in them
Quite a few projects…….quite a few unfinished projects
The projects below are now finished, AND I HAVENT STARTED ANYTHING, I believe this is technically called finishitis.
(the project bags are now full of proto projects, who are starting one phase of waiting in knitting)
Its a bad photo, unedited from my phone, photos of my knitting is one thing I definitely plan on improving in this blog.
