I am in the knitting doldrums and patiently ::yeah, sure:: waiting for some yarn deliveries (“Um, John, you may notice a few packages arriving in the next few days…” 🙂 ). So, when I am impatiently waiting for the next project, I usually drag out some musty old thing that I stopped working on because it was boring or problematic.
Or two musty old things. One is my Window to My Soul (I admit that I do not understand the name of this one). It is cute and should be fun to wear next spring and summer, but I am at the point where I am knitting acres of stockinette and getting nowhere. Plus, there are the sleeves to do as well.
Sally finished hers and it turned out so great, that I am inspired to keep going. It is mindless, so I drag it around with me.
The other musty, old thing is really old. A really old thing. I first mentioned this in September 2009. It is Dale of Norway 10903. I have started this multiple times for multiple reasons, but I must really want the darned thing because I keep coming back and giving it another go. Maybe this is the year to be done with it!! Yay!!
The problem with working on these two projects is that when my new yarn arrives, I will want to drop them like hot potatoes. But I kind of hate doing that, especially when 10903 has been waiting for 6 years.
So maybe my new yarn purchases will have to sit in wait until they become old and musty to get any attention! 😉
