The art of juggling several projects at once.

I'm sure if you're a knitter you have more then one project in the works. I have a shawl, oops two shawls, gloves and socks in the works. One shawl I don't like, it's boring, but I was asked by a man to make it for his wife's birthday. I made this shawl for another friends 97 year old aunt and that's where this women saw it and wanted one. It was a simple pattern I made up and boring because at the time my wrist was broken and I needed something easy to do. I can't wait to finish. The other shawl is a beautiful gray and white check made with cashmere silk blend yarn. It was in one of Vogue's 2015 magazines.  I love it. I'm also making fingerless gloves and socks. 

I'll mention different people in my post who are knitting buddies in most cases. Kate is my good knitting buddy. Kate and I retired together and have been knitting together ever since. When we retired we decided to take a class and learn how to make a cardigan sweater from the top down. It was all one piece. We decided we didn't need to pay for a class between the two of us we could figure out a pattern. We mastered an interesting fingerless glove pattern with a cable design. This year we tackled socks from the toe up using German Short Rows. An adventure. I'm going to post some info about that in my next post. Stay tuned.
