Having knit the Cobblestone pullover in near record time (for me!), then nearly finishing the Classic Lines Cardi, I have been eyeing the marination chamber with the thought of the more decisive part of my nature. I need to take a look at the issue that sent it into the marination chamber and make a decision about it's future. If it's ugly or I just don't like it, frog it. If I can't even remember why I set it aside, finish it. There is perfectly nice yarn in there. Recycle that yarn into something more interesting or de-stash it.
About a week ago I picked up a 1/2 done
Hedgerow sock with a bad heel turn, frogged the offending part and began again. I am currently decreasing for Toe 1. Issue: Poor chioice of yarn for pattern. See what I mean? The pattern gets lost in the stripes. Tough luck; keep knitting - they are socks! No one is looking that closely.
So last night I grabbed the toe up socks I knit a year ago, snipped out the semi-provisional cast on and grafted the toes. Done. No picture. Issue: I really do not like toe up socks.
I know that I have AT LEAST two pair of fingerless mitts, 2 sweaters, 3 cotton tops, a couple of hats that are in various stages of incompleteness. I also have another pair of socks, but I'm actively working on those, so they don't count.
So does this mean I should not be perusing sweater patterns? Oh dear....
