I did promised a Strong Opinion, and some other info on blocking for this week, but I am sorry, that will have to wait until next week, as I wanted to show blocking on the New year's sweater, which did get cast off, but it still needs some ends woven in, and I also need to put away some stuff from the floor I usually put my blocking lately. Yes, the making order in the flat is still going on, and I mentioned that I had to make my table presentable for a photo. Which meant, I needed to dismantle the heap of ongoing projects from the side of it... and that resulted another, though smaller heap on the floor, which will need another round of going through and decision-making, on what would happen to the stuff, where should they be put away, etc. Times like these, I feel it is never going to end.
Anyhow, this brings me to this week's "controversial" topic, monogamous or poligamous knitting...
And I think you already know, into which group I am in. It is not only bigamy, its poligamy at its worst. I have so many things going on, that it is actually a wonder I finish things.
Yes, sometimes I do get caught up in a project, and want to do nothing else, until I manage to finsh it. On the other hand, knitting (and other crafts) literally woven through my life, and I not only use strange bits of times for them, but I also use them as tools. You already know that I do a ton of travel-knitting, but even, if I narrow it down to knitting in the car, while N. drives, presents me with different circumstances, for which I have different types of knitting (see my knitting bag posts... come to think of them, do you like them? should I continue with showing, what do I take with me for trips, be it shorter or longer?). And there are other circumstances, like watching TV, or concentratingon one pattern, and I coud go on... and yes, I do want use all of those bits of times, thus I have projects for every eventuallity.
Which of course, means, lots of works in progress.
Disclaimer: as with all other strong opinions of mine, there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone doing/thinking/feeling the opposite way or differently. I do not care, if someone uses dosens of stitchmarkers, or zippers in their knitting, or interchangeable needles. Absolutely nothing wrong. This is just old me, set in my ways.
