So should I knit like crazy for a few days so I get knitting burnout and go back to my sewing? Or just give in to the urges and allow myself to do whatever craft takes my fancy at the time?
I did manage to sew buttons on two dresses today and cut out pockets and patches for 3 pairs of shorts and overlock them. Not too bad I guess. Particularly when Lily only went to sleep at just before midnight *shock*
Anyway, I'm instilling a new knitting rule; no starting any new projects until all the others are finished. I have a bad habit of getting halfway through a project and then get new wool and get so overexcited that I have to start the new project, and so on and so on, and before you know it there are half a dozen ufos cluttering up my knitting basket.
So my ufos that must be finished are:~
- Yellow and white capris
- kool aid dyed vest
- leg cuffs on MWS ~ waiting on arrival of addis
- leg cuffs on CP soaker ~ ditto
- embellishment on hearts soaker and cuffs
- embellishments on gelati shorties ~ eta. finished :D
- rainbow dress ~ nearly finished the skirt
and then, and only then, am I allowed to start something new, which will be:~
- Wicked top for me
- MWS/EWS ~ have a couple of these to do for some arriving bubs
- scarf out of my pear tree merino
- cotton washclothes
- ooh, I really want to do the Jo Sharp sarong (and use it for a throw) in the latest mag but it's such a BIG job
- some longies for Lily
- firty skirt
I think that will do it LOL So there you go it; lots to finish and plenty more to look forward to :D
that's the lure of the dark side you're feeling ;)
ReplyDeletelol just dont think by knitting for a few days that you'll get it out of your system, it will only get you further hooked! LOL
