I know it. Random Wednesday, WIP Wednesday. One I have randomly participated in, the other I have not yet. So for me I announce it Random WIP Wednesday, meaning that I will participate randomly and will show random wips.
I wasn't so sure about this color combination at the start, but the Silk Garden has won me over once again and I love it. I can hardly put it down, wanting to see what striping combination surprises me next. Progress is being made.
The Loksins! sock has been languishing in my bag. I haven't been out and knitting all that much lately and when I have I am usually knitting on the shawl or Noro scarf. I should make knitting a round or two a priority. If only I could hear it calling to me from the bag, but I have it on vibrate.
Oh! The Seraphim Shawl. Oh, OH! Kim's yarn. Okay. That is about it. The stockinette stitch has to come to an end soon or I'll shoot myself. And get this: I'm adding length in the STOCKINETTE STITCH section of the shawl because I am using a thinner yarn and smaller needles, yet want a long enough shawl. And this, my little fiber knitter friends, is where the optimism comes in. This yarn just has to be this shawl. There was never a question. It's the only thing that keeps my gnarled fingers moving along.
There is a noticable lack of sweater knitting going on here. It is bumming me out, but I can't decide what to cast on for, my choices are so many, my yarn stash so deep. I have decided that while I weigh my options I will finish a sweater that is already on the needles, and I went with Rogue. My third Rogue is up to the armholes and where the neck detail begins. Almost done, right?
My one other project is photographing the stash and getting it up on Ravelry. I'm pacing myself. As if I can ever do that!
So, there you have my random list on a random WIP Wednesday. I'm focused and ready to go!
Three hundred twenty-three to go. What do you think? Will I finish something on this list? Or cast on for the next pretty thing that sashays by?
I'm almost done with my silk garden scarf. In the beginning it felt like it was going so fast but now - ugh!
Oh, and I ordered more tea yesterday.

Both, I expect.

You'll finish something. Then cast on.

I would like you to put your projects on Ravelry...not just the stash and tell me what color of Kim's yarn your using for Seraphim...and then finish something already!

Yes! What Margene said. Put your projects on Ravelry. All of them, the done and not done. Inspiration for all.

I have to agree with Margene and Karen. If we all nag you enough, will you do it?

Just to keep things in order: I'm going to have to agree with Margene, Karen, and Karen :)
and I love that sock! Finish the socks :)

ANOTHER ROGUE??? I'm so jealous. We won't even go into the ANOTHER SILK GARDEN SCARF? routine. Hee. But I swear my hypothesis is right: Pick up ANY TWO colorways of S.G. and you've made the right choice. Sorry for all the shouting. I've had a lot of chocolate. :)

Do you have to show your own WIPs on Random Wednesdays? ;) I always find it hard to finish when I have lots of WIPs so I really really force myself to have only 2 or 3 at the most...okay maybe 4 but no more than 5! I love love all of your WIPs.

The scarf and socks are beautiful! If I were you, I wouldn't be able to put down those socks!!
