I’m going to try and finish a bunch of WIPs by the end of the year. This is just a to-do list/statement of intent/whatever.
1. Pinwheel sweater
The body is complete and has a 10st garter lace edging. The sleeves are started and are about halfway to the elbows — just enough to let me try it on as it was growing. So I need to finish the sleeves and do the lace on the cuffs. Bob says I can block it at her place.
Estimated: 2-3 evenings to finish. Pinwheel sweater project on Ravelry.
2. Mitre mittens
These have been sitting mostly-done for months. I need to finish the main body of the second mitten, and add thumbs to them.
Estimated: 1 evening. Mitred mittens project on Ravelry.
3. Grounded scarf
More than halfway there. Just needs me to slog through it and get it done.
Estiamted: 2 evenings. Grounded scarf project on Ravelry.
4. Hanging hand-towel
A cotton hand-towel with a loop and button to hang it by the kitchen sink. It’s about half done, but I hate knitting with cotton and it hurts my hands, so I can’t spend a solid chunk of time on it. So I plan to do a bit each day. No Rav project yet.
5. Blue mittens
I knit a hat (Rav link, but I don’t have a photo yet) recently out of Manos del Uruguay Wool Clasica (which is roughly aran weight) and have enough yarn over for a matching pair of mittens. I estimate 1-2 evenings.
So that’s a total of 8 evenings (using the higher counts for everything) and there’s 7 evenings left in the year. Sure, I’ll probably not be knitting on New Year’s Eve, but on the other hand, I don’t have much going on at any other time, so there’s lots of flexibility there.
Wish me luck. I’m looking forward to knocking some WIPs off the list.
