What to start

I have finished the granny square blanket.  Well, at least I think I have.  It's been in the works for so long I hesitate to say it is complete.  I don't have any pictures to post of this monumental finish.  I hope to photograph it on my daughter's bed.  I say hope because as her room sits right now you wouldn't notice a granny square blanket.  I fear all you would see is the complete disarray of a teenager's life.  It is her room.  I TRY to keep my mouth closed.  That is not easy.


Now to decide on the next project.  I have a few things that are still in progress.  I knit a round or two on my cowl each day.  The Christmas hexis should move to the front of the list.  It would be nice to have them finished.  But I keep thinking of all the new things I want to start.  A chevron or Spice of Life blanket would be fun and would use up stash yarn.


I also bought three Caron Cakes.  They were so pretty and I have zero self control.  Thanks goodness for Micheal's coupons.  Each skein has a pattern on the label.  There is a triangle shawl, a kerchief scarf, and a textured scarf.  They all have possibilities.


My son has asked for a crocheted basket for his room or I could make a fall doily.  I have too many things I want to make and my mind is not so focused.  I think that describes my state of mind, not so focused.  Craft projects are not the only things swirling around my head, so is everything else I need to do.  I get overwhelmed and then I don't do anything, so frustrating.   Sometimes picking one project and doing one task seems greater than swimming across the ocean.

I hope to accomplish something today, wish me luck.   Lisa

  1. I've not seen those Caron Cakes. They are very pretty. Which project are you going to do? Or are you going to do one of each.

  2. Like Dee, I've never seen Caron Cakes before. I love the look of them, I think it would be fun to make something with them. I know how you feel about being unsure of what to start, it happens to me a lot. Usually I end up starting everything and then I'm really sorry later. :)

  4. I love the Caron Cakes you bought. I've tried to obtain some several times and every time I'm in Michaels they only have a few skeins of colors that just aren't that appealing. They might be more appealing if I could see the whole range, but somehow sitting there on empty shelves they look forlorn and unwanted. So I find I don't want them either. Thinking these yarn cakes may not be around for long, I may have missed out on this craze, but I can admire the pretty "cakes" others post and the cool things they make with their yarn. The granny square blanket is beautiful, and I love those Christmas ornaments you are piecing together. Too cute.
