Current WIP count: 7
Welcome to July, everyone!
After leaving my Flax Light in the naughty corner for a few days, I managed to tink back to my mistake without too many issues. Now I’m chugging along with it again, this time counting the purl stitches every time I hit the panel because I am NOT making the same mistake twice.
I’m also trying very hard not to think about the fact that I have to do this all over again for the other sleeve, otherwise it might turn into one of those UFOs you shove in a drawer and forget about for five years. Could I start a trend for one-armed jumpers, do you think?
Changing Tides has fallen behind again, thanks to a super busy couple of weekends. And also me dragging my feet a wee bit because I know another week of pebbles is coming up and they take aaaaaaages.
But I did particularly enjoy the last section I worked on. The shell stitches are pretty and I’m definitely using this blue/yellow colourway for another make at some point in the future.
Ooh what about a baby blanket using the same pattern? I think that would look cute.
Anyway I’d better not add another WIP to my list just yet – I really need to get some of the current ones to FOs first!

So glad you have rectified the flax light. Fingers crossed it does not suffer like a second sock!
Loving the blanket.

Well done with the flax light. Yes, don’t think about sleeve number two – just think how well you are doing with the work in your hands right now.

You’re right, no point thinking ahead. Especially as thinking about something else might make me mess it up again :p

Oh yes, the sleeve number two is the worst… although when I think about it, number one is maybe even worse since there’s still the second one ahead? LOL, in any case, I hope you will knit it fast and will be able to wear it happily soon!

You can always count on me to have far too many WIPs going at any one time 😉
