Today I seemed to jump from one knitting project to the next. I did a few stitches on a hat. Had lunch then finished the hat pictured below. I cast on and started a new hat, I did not want the knitting needles or stitche markers to be lonely. I knit about one half inch of the brim. Then I worked on the baby blanket for about an inch. Then after dinner it was a new pair of gloves for my self. Lots of frogging, I got caught up in the television series we were watching. Not a good thing for a pattern that the rows need to be counted. Then I went to finish off my night of knitting with a charity scarf. All totaled I worked on 5 different knitting projects and only finished one. Lots of progress though.
The hat pictured below is the first charity hat for 2022. It may not seem like it from the first paragraph, I am really doing less knitting so far this year. I am enjoying it more. It is no long a job to finish 100 or more projects a year. I have only completed 7 projects so far this year verses 14 at the same time last year.
I know I have a lot of projects on knitting needles. Sometimes I need an easy no thinking involved knitting project. Other times I have a gift that I am working on. Other times I need to knit while John is driving Other times I just want to stretch my skills. Other times I just want to finish UFO’s.
I am thinking about selling a few kits on eBay for things that I thought that I wanted to knit but changed my mind on. I will start going through them soon. I am also continuing to look through knitting books to destash too. I think Destashing is how I am going to clear my backlog of projects. I will sell them as kits for about 1/2 the price plus postage that I paid just to get them out of the house. I might also consider an Etsy store. I will keep you updated
