This is kinda embarrassing! For a group on Ravelry, I needed to list the projects I hope to finish this fall. That meant taking pictures of the projects I’m working on and have any hope of finishing . . not even counting those projects languishing . . for months and months. So, with photos already taken, here’s what’s on lots of needles!
First, it’s Stained Glass Cowl. I could have finished this thing in the amount of knitting I’ve done but stopping and ripping has taken it’s toll.

Next is a secret test knit. Not even sure when I cans how pictures but here’s the yarn I’m using. It’s socks and I’m almost to the point of increasing for the gusset on Sock #1.

Right after the test knit is completed, I’ll finish my second pair of Diamondback Socks.

Next is the socks I’m making using the tortoise shell yarn. I’m not happy with the yarn. It’s getting way too light but . . I guess that’s how some cats are and since it’s named after a tortoiseshell cat (like Cat), I’ll just get it done and stop complaining. I’m in the home stretch of Sock #1. Heel is done and half the foot is done.

Next, I have three pairs of plain vanilla socks. I love the yarn in all three pairs. Two are toe up and one is top down.

Then there’s the Briochealuscious Shawl which is barely started but . . it’s started.

And, because one can never have too many shawls started and not finished, there’s Partly Sunny.

The question of the day . . really two questions:
- Anyone think I can finish all of these before adding anything new to the list of WIPs (works in progress)?
- Anyone think I can get all these finished in the next two or three months?
Actually, I had some projects I wanted to make for Christmas gifts and these are not on that list! Bad Judy!!
Either I’m going to have to finish some projects or order myself some new needles!
What’s on your needles?
Judy D in WA says
My answer to questions 1 and 2 is No! and No! LOL
I love everything you have started. You are so prolific that I have every confidence that you will eventually get these all done. 🙂

a project for your every mood!! I’m sure you will find a wonderful new yarn for a new project but I’m betting you will finish most of those in the next 3 months
best wishes

Ah Judy, you make me feel so good! I thought I was the only one that had projects out the wazoo. I decided to make Cancun Lacy Boxy top out of a metallic yarn I had stashed for a beach coverup (going to Fl for a week in October), then I just got the yarn for Partly Sunny that I want to make for Mom for Christmas (she’s 100), then…I found an afghan pattern I love and ordered the yarn for that – it came yesterday so it’ll go on the needles today, then I’m almost finished (YAHOO) with Dappled Sunlight, also have the yarn for a hat for a grandson for Christmas, and the list goes on…..and on……and on…..:)

I believe you can finish them all, but I don’t believe you won’t start any others…

I have been a “finisher” all my life – work, quilting, knitting, laundry, whatever I did. Truly – WHATEVER I did. So, thanks to you and the efforts the of a dear friend lovingly called The Devil, I now have five projects on needles. I know – ONLY five. But I’ve picked many more that I want to start right now and since you and The Devil live like that …… well, why not.

No, No, No. You are like a lot of us. We are good beginner. We see something new and pretty and off we go. A new beginning. Maybe if we live to be 200 years old we will get all of them finished. But not likely. Too many pretty things to make.

Hmm.. How long is “fall” considered to run for you to finish these? 🙂 I believe you can finish most if not all of them – however you may be distracted from finishing ALL of them by something else new that must be cast on – a totally understandable occurrence.
It is Fall here today – only 62 and raining at the moment – a definite change from the hot humid weather of earlier in the week.
