Multiple Projects, How Many Do You Have?








It seems that at any given time I always have many things planned, started, going good, or waiting (im)patiently to be finished. I'm beginning to think this is a common trait of crafters, do you agree?

So far on this project, I dyed some roving a dark emerald green with a few lighter spots, and a second batch a chartruese green. From that I spun one skein from the dark, two skeins with one ply dark and one light and then some all light. While this is drying to set the twist, I am spinning the rest of the roving that you see in the pictures, I plan to knit a couple of hats, in a huge pattern, and then full or shrink them down to wearable size. I also have an earflap hat almost knitted, a nuno felted scarf to add finishing touches to and a couple of felt purses that are awaiting handles and closures.
Tell me about your works in progress.

test knitting

In the Fiber Friday thread of the forums smokymountainfibers.etsy.com put out a request for testers of a new knitting pattern she has developed. I decided to volunteer and she e-mailed me her pattern. So far I like the straightforwardness of it and the gauge is working with my hand spun yarn. I will give her my report when I finish and send a picture, then I will post a picture here. Back to my new fun project.
