Knitting In Utero

My favourite projects are usually those that require the shortest attention span. Though I love the process of starting to knit a sweater, I dread finishing them. Maybe it's because I don't want to part with my creations, maybe it's because I love the feel of the yarn between my fingers.

However I hate to admit it, I think it's also because I'm afraid I'll be disappointed by the end result. What if it doesn't work? What if I just don't like it? Small projects are great. Success or failure means much less. And, that tea cozy looks great on my teapot. And, hats and scarves are really great gifts. Problem is, I have four sweaters and one blanket in utero.

I can only wonder. Do other knitters have this back log of projects that call out to them? "Finish me!" "No, finish me first!"

Okay, that's just weird. If knitting projects were to call out their to knitters/creators, let's hope they don't squabble.

A project that I'm proud to call my own is a skull and crossbone teacozy that I gave my brother-in-law for his birthday. Currently, I'm working on a complimentary rice cozy. (Shh! Don't tell him.)
