...as in my brain doesn’t seem willing to wrap itself around anything but “quick and simple” these days. I’ve been feeling guilty about it for a week now mainly because I’m making very slow progress with the sweater. I get a couple of rows knitted and I don’t want to look at it any more. So a bunch of small, simple interim projects have presented themselves and I’m going to try not to feel guilty when I work on them. Well, I can try :)
Fuzzy Short-Row Scarf
I started this for an acquaintance. I prowled through the stash looking for something to speak to me and getting worried that I wasn’t going to find enough of anything to do the trick. When it occurred to me that I had two colors that might go together and that the short-row scarf would combine them in a fun way, I was off (as in “off and running” - we all already know I’m off my trolley!).
Mitt mit Gusset
I’ve done the thumb gusset on the mitt, but I’m not very happy with it and I have to wonder if I’m making this harder than it needs to be. Wouldn’t be the first time :) I suspect this is going to get frogged back several rows and re-thought.
I get to keep this one :)
The scarf is almost done. I’m planning on trying the 2-circular method for the hat which will have a fuzzy brim and a cream colored body. The gloves will be the sideways gloves I made before except about 10 stitches longer with the eyelash incorporated into those 10 stitches and the rest of the glove in cream.
I have reservations about the light color as I manage to spill things on every light colored thing I own, sooner or later. Generally sooner. But what the hell - if you’re going to dance with the devil, don’t just waltz - boogie!
Where are my treats?
