On the Other Hand

On one hand I have my slower, longer term projects.
These are the ones that take multiple skeins of yarn or a large amount of attention to detail. Examples are my Autumn Blanket (still in progress) or the Secret Project (which requires a lot of attention because I am designing as I go).

On the other hand, I have projects that I have started and finished rather quickly. Fast enough that they often did not land on the On the Needle section above. This would include the Calorimetry I finished in two shifts at work and the Airy Scarf (which would be done except that I decided to throw in a lot of personal lace design AND write it down) which I am doing at work and will be done before long.

The Secret Project has not seen any new stitches since the last Yarn For Breakfast meetup, mostly due to me either a)not being home or b)being tired due to ongoing shift changes at work.

There have been cat toys that few off the needles in a single sitting and 13'foot long scarves that were knitted in secret and took over a month of sneaking time in.

There are projects I whipped up with no plans, like my Ramen Packet Holder, and there are projects that I have not even started really drawing up, like my eventual top down sweater that will be custom designed.



Knitting is not simple, repetitive, boring or limited.
Sometimes, knitting avoids being predictable too.
