Project Monogamy is just not in my nature. If left to my own devices, with no self imposed rules, I would spend all of my knitting time starting new things, and never finishing anything.
\nSo I normally impose upon myself the 3 Project Rule. One pair of socks, One lace project and One garment at any one time. There’s leeway in that, I might have gloves on the needles instead of socks, or a cabled scarf instead of a lace project, but only ever 3 projects at once.
\nRight now I have just two projects on the needles. David’s stripey red socks, which have been untouched for days, and his cabled vest.
\nThis cabled vest is showing me the upside of Project Monogamy. I cast on on May 3, four days ago.

\nI have just joined in the sixth of 10 balls. I’m halfway through in four days. Lovin’ it!
\nI am not loving the knots I am finding in this batch of Jet. We’re not talking about little knots, I’m talking about big fat knots that take 10 minutes to unravel.

\n(That’s a bonus shot of my new sheepy pj’s for Evelyn!)
\nThat’s happened in three out of the six balls so far!
\nWe’ll see how long the project monogamy lasts – I’m meeting a local Raveler tomorrow to discuss sock knitting, so I’m pretty sure the socks will be back out then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
