I have successfully finished 10 items in May, a huge accomplishment with my busy schedule, but I still have too many knitting projects. When does a WIP (work in progress) become an UFO (unfinished object.) Two of my finished items are the socks I have photographed here. They are finished items, but as "first socks" they are still part of a WIP. I have been asking customers and employees how many projects they have on needles and surprisingly i am not alone in having too many projects going at once. A couple of people admitted they don't know how many projects they have. We also had some discussion around our knitting table about unraveling lingering projects and saving the yarn for a different project. I did that with 2 things but the rest are things I still like and want to finish.
I did cast on one new project this week. It is a sleeveless top with some lace details. I am using a red cotton called Banyon from Colinette. I should finish another 10 before I start another new project, but I don't always do as I should. I am hoping to start a cardigan for my mom later this month. She will be in York in July and will be available to try it on as I work on it. She picked out some beautiful turquoise cotton when she was here in April and wants a February Ladies Cardigan.
