This month I have three WIPs (Works in Progress) that I really want to complete and I only have ten days left. Now, don't get me wrong. These are not the only WIPs that I have lying around my house, and other various locations; they are the three that I would like to complete this month. And I have only ten days left.
I'm sure that I can do it. Really. I'm sure that I can.WIP #1: Plarn Bag
This bag is my own pattern. I hope to write the pattern out and offer it free on my blog someday soon, but first I have to complete this bag and the initial draft of the pattern. All that's missing at this point is a row of single crochet around the handles, and somehow it is taking me forever to do it.
I think I have an actual fear of finishing things.
WIP #2: Elephant Hat
My cousin had a baby and she decorated the room with handmade elephant-themed items. I just had to make her an elephant baby hat. I had to. This hat has had problems (wow, that sentence has a lot of three letter words that start with ha). I lost the crochet hook I was using. I made a newborn hat, and now the baby is three months old. I still cannot find the hook that I lost or the yarn. I have more of the same yarn and I finally found another hook of the same size, so it is time to make a larger hat, add a trunk and some ears, and send it to that little baby girl.
WIP #3: 2 Color Brioche Scarf
Oh! I love this scarf. I love everything about it; the colors, the stitch, the design, it's all perfect. And it's almost finished; all it needs is a couple of button holes and some buttons. This scarf is my own design and grew from a simple experimental swatch that I started, inspired by The Knit Show. If you have not watched The Knit Show yet, you totally have to check it out. Vickie Howell is amazing, and inspiring.
Ten days is a ton of time. I can totally do this. If only I didn't have this incredible cold that is making my brain not work. No, really, I can totally do this!
What are you working on this week?
