I am really enjoying this new hobby of mine (scrapbooking), but last night I broke down with guilt over having so many knitting projects incomplete. I know it’s only a hobby and there’s no reason for me to feel obligated to finish anything in a set amount of time. Even DH said I should only work on them when I feel like and to not worry because they will eventually get done. But I just feel so bad that I have 4-6 projects still incomplete that I’ve been working on since I began knitting over a year ago.

I have almost finished the baby blanket I thought was doomed. I never did find enough yarn to complete the blanket as the pattern called, so I just finished the repeat I was working on and ended it there. I just barely had enough yarn to make it. So even though it’s smaller than I expected it’s large enough for a small baby. All that’s left to do is weave in the ends. Since it’s a blanket, I probably won’t bother to block it. Speaking of blocking, I’ve blocked all the squares for the crochet afghan that I began eons ago. And yes, since my crocheting isn’t quite mastered, I had a few squares that were way too large. There is one so large, I may have to fix it or redo it. Not sure yet. I may wait and sew that one on last. But all that’s left with that now is to piece the squares together. And I was looking at it last night and it requires a 2 row border so apparently I have a little more to do. But I haven’t looked yet…not sure if I have enough yarn for it. And oh, I had another thought, since I have to do a border, I guess I will probably have to redo the large square, so that it all lays fairly flat when I do the edge. Yikes…there’s way more to do than I thought. But at least it’s one step closer to being finished. If I could knock those out, then all that’s left is one sock, Mom’s sweater, and Chamomile. Which I’m dreading because since I began my knitting has gotten looser, so I think I may have to rip it back and start the front over with different size needles. I think my piece may have gotten too big over time. So okay, this was supposed to be me pouring out my misery about unfinished projects, but I ended up with a long update on my knitting. Which I guess is fine, since I haven’t posted anything in ages. But yes, my knitting is going VERY SLOWLY.
