Monday Update

I spent this week mostly working on Sunflowers. I did stitch a little on Fish City and Living with Charm, but no pictures this week, since I didn't feel I'd worked on them enough to show much progress.

I also did some knitting on my scarf, but since the pattern is the same all the way along, it felt pointless to take a picture. I did measure it, and it is now 31 inches long. So, what is a good length for a scarf? I know at 29 inches I thought I was about halfway done, but I admit I've been working at it long enough that I'm quite ready to be done with it, but I know that this length is definitely not long enough. I think I need to plan to knit at least one pattern repeat each day until it's done - just enough to keep making progress on it, but also allows for me to spend some time working on something else :)

2 Starts

I have wanted to start these two projects for quite a while now, and I started them on the same day! I hope to have some significant progress to show on Monday.

1) The project: Sunflowers by Annie Beez


Materials: DMC threads, 28 ct Nordic Blue Jobelan by Wichelt
Started: March 22, 2010

My progress:

2) The project: Living with Charm by Lizzie*Kate


Materials: DMC threads, 28 ct Lambswool Jobelan by Wichelt

Started: March 22, 2010

My Progress:

In knitting, no further progress on my scarf. With the weather turning nicer, it's hard to get motivated to knit winter items. Instead, I'm thinking about spring and summer items to start. Now, I'm anxiously waiting to find the Spring/Summer Knit Simple in stores. I've found at least two tops that I'm interested in trying to knit for myself. See a preview here.

Startitis

I feel like starting something new. I'm still enjoying stitching Fish City, and I'm not ready to set it aside, but I have two other projects that I would love to get started on. I just would need to figure out a rotation that would work well so that no project gets neglected. The projects: Sunflowers by Annie Beez, and Living with Charm by Lizzie*Kate. I think I'll kit them up both up, and maybe start them sometime this week.

I have been working on Fish City this week. Update coming tomorrow!
