Now...Once upon a time, I was a monogamous knitter. Now that knitting is my living, it's monogamous no longer!! I suspect my typical WIP pile is very similar to yours - one design, one easy 'mindless' knit and one more challenging. Your Oma's cardigan is coming along beautifully. I love that colour!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-23015218217199546242011-11-29T18:38:14.180-08:002011-11-29T18:38:14.180-08:00haha i think it must be the same for other kinds o...haha i think it must be the same for other kinds of artists as well.. i know i can't just focus on one thing at a time. i find it especially difficult when i'm on a deadline. deadlines make me want to make anything else other than the thing i have to make.. so i'll work on the mandatory for a little.. then a random thing.. then back to the mandatory. <br /><br />i seriously am so happy that i inspired you to visit yosemite :) i loved it so much and i am so happy to know that my love for that place showed in my writing and photos. <br /><br />yes.. california is definitely full of amazing places.. and i'm always down for an adventure :) now if i could just win a lifetime supply of airline tickets.. ugh that would be outrageously awesome.A Lost Featherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902262024638570811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-10640782843141636132011-11-29T10:44:11.190-08:002011-11-29T10:44:11.190-08:00I have often thought that being a monogamous knitt...I have often thought that being a monogamous knitter would be a much more efficient way to go about knitting, AND would allow projects to be finished in a more timely manner. However, I always have considerable difficulty not casting on for lots and lots of projects, despite my overflowing WIP baskets.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343685271510850819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-32136757028867980372011-11-29T08:06:14.258-08:002011-11-29T08:06:14.258-08:00i've recently realized that i've become mu...i've recently realized that i've become much more of a monogamous knitter since i started designing. swatching and knitting hats (sometimes i do this to swatch patterns) don't really count for me, since they're about an hour or two of work, and other than that i pretty much have one project at a time. they're usually sweaters, so i keep a sleeve as my portable work and do the body at home.<br /><br />it's also easier to be monogamous when you're a fast knitter. as my speed increases, i have less time to get bored with a project and so it usually gets finished!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-16437309848104158892011-11-28T19:09:30.383-08:002011-11-28T19:09:30.383-08:00I currently have two projects in the work!

The important thing is to keep it under control ;-) That colors you chose for your cardigan is very pretty! It must be nice to knit it!Marysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150165052713846615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558879415972386895.post-42712608613424346702011-11-28T15:07:16.543-08:002011-11-28T15:07:16.543-08:00If you pretend the sleeves are a different project...If you pretend the sleeves are a different project than the cardigan than you have two WIP's on the needles!
