Works-In-Progress... (ahum!)

Today, I organized my WIP's-box.
Ripped out some things, got out the leftover wool of FO's etc... I think all knitters will know what I mean. Just to clear my mind out.

And then I looked at the things that were left in the box...
Oh hell, I never thought I had so many WIP's :/


1) Woolcover, knitted piece is done, just need the sewingpart.


2) 2 woolcovers in progress


3) A pullover for my little brother. I started it 2 years ago and had to reknit the sleeves 2 times now, because I never finished it and my brother keeps growing... Own pattern.


4) I have no idea where the sleeves and the hat is of this sweater :/ I crocheted them in natural merino, dyed them afterwards, but I have no clue where they are now. Damn...


5) Own pattern for a girly-sweater... ran out of yarn and never wrote down a single thing. (typical me!) But I will finish it!! Just don't ask me when!


6) Another vest, another own pattern. Same story as in number 5, without the yarn thing...


7) Stained Glass Scarf. Started it when I had my elbow in plaster and couldn't knit with that. Never finished and I'm doubting about just ripping it. Love the scarf, though!


8) Cowl, no pattern... trying out one of my new Ethnic Yarns and still in love with it! This yarn is wonderful!


9) Teddybear for my youngest daughter. She loved the thing when we were at the 'hobbysalon'. I knitted 1 piece of 2, but now I don't find the pattern anymore... typical.


10) Crocheted Sewing Machine. I fell in love with the patterns of Sky Magenta and want to make ALL of them. This machine is my oldest daughters birthday-gift for her class.


11) Sock Yarn Blanket. Stole the idea from Morgan. I have just too many leftovers. This one is a 'normal' WIP, cause it's going to take lots and lots of years to finish a blanket with leftovers!


12) Work... ;o) and an active WIP! Finishing it today :) A Newborn Baby Winter Set for a customer.

And 13 is without a picture... I do have the information on Ravelry ;o) but certain people may not know what I -hopefully, if I get it finished in time- am wearing on the first communion of my little brother (not that I'm catholic or religious in any kind of way, on the contrary, but hey, there's a party afterwards! And I just don't want to miss a thing of my little brother's life... ;o))
I can assure you, it will be the most beautiful thing I've ever knitted!

All together in my WIP's-box:


I really have to finish some things :/
Why does casting on new projects feel so good?
Off knitting now... lots and lots of work to do!

haha, zoooooo herkenbaar!
daarom maak ik nu werk van "één grote WIP per maand afmaken" (naast de kleintjes uiteraard)
en mijn hoeveelheid is ondertussen toch al gehalveerd...
veel succes!

MORGAN zei

(en ja, nieuwe dingen opzetten blijft veel te plezant, dus eigenlijk is het The Neverending Story")

O wat een herkenning. Niet alleen met breiwerken maar ook met naaiprojecten en borduurwerken. Soms word ik gék van mijzelf!

Groetjes

Heel herkenbaar, maar ik probeer het wat meer in de perken te houden. Mijn voornaamste excuus is dat ik altijd iets moet hebben dat niet te moeilijk is voor onderweg naar het werk. Momenteel staan er twee truien met korte mouwen op naalden, ik moet nog een duim en een zoom aan een want breien en van één ander ding is al beslist dat ik het ga uittrekken. Drie actieve projecten.
