Now I'm sure if we were all honest with ourselves, we would fess up to having an unfinished project or six. I admit I have a few lingering projects that need attention, so the other day I really had no business even thinking of starting something new. And I didn't, but not because I was virtuous and diligently pulled a project out of the basket that holds all those unfinished projects. No, I didn't start a new project because one of the DPN needles I needed for the new project went missing. And there wasn't a replacement readily available.
That trend continued into the next day when I was out and about. As luck would have it I had some waiting time on my hands. Prime knitting time. I reached into my bag. There was only one knitting project. How did that happen? Usually I have a selection of at least a couple of projects with me - that way I have a choice depending on the situation. If I'm sitting and settled in the doctor's office, I can pull out a chart. If I'm waiting in line at the Post Office, a simple sock is better.
It seems the powers that be want me to focus on one project and only one project.
And I have been. This is the second of the Flatiron Clog Socks - a project that I started probably in late summer. I give in. I won't even consider another project until this is done. That's fine - I need another pair of socks.
Besides I should focus my attention on this rather than the distraction of a new project.
The Gather Here Fiber Trunk Show is this coming Sunday. It's going to be a fun time. If you're in the Boston / Cambridge area, stop by and check out all the fiber goodies. With any luck I'll be wearing a new pair of socks.
