Even without a calendar and the new year celebration, I can always tell when it is January by my intense need to KNIT ALL THE THINGS, ORGANIZE ALL MY YARN and CLEAR OUT MY RAVELRY QUEUE.
This year I have been stymied by the basement fix-up so I can't organize my yarn just yet but I sense February will bring me a lot of organizing happiness. I have however found time to queue up more patterns to knit and am currently attempting to knit 5 things at once.
It's not going as well as I imagined in my head though. It's hard to knit 5 things at once when you only have two hands and both are needed to knit ONE thing at a time.
So today I'll be taking some time to tidy up my knitting bags and really prioritize my knitting. I have a baby hat that I need to finish for a friend and since it is a quick knit, I might just start with that. Then I'll move on to the hat I started for my husband. It's cold outside and his head would really appreciate the warmth. From there, I'll see what I have squirreled away. The only way to knit all the things is to knit them one at a time. I just need to remember that.
How do you keep control over your knitting desires?
I'm not succeeding, but I'm also not trying all that hard. I would LIKE to be trying hard, but with work and training and actually knitting (not organizing the knitting) I'm not succeeding. :-) I'm knitting 3 pr. socks at once, and a dress-style tank. I also have other WIPs that are resting for awhile. My actual stash is organized by color and I'm thinking about organizing by weight. What do you think?
