UFO overload!

October 17, 2007 by sassenach

UFO Overload! ok, so Ravelry has got me taking stock of my unfinished objects, which is easy to do considering it’s all there in one convenient location. To my dismay, I have FOURTEEN unfinished objects. Those don’t even include the other THREE unphotographed WIPs I started recently.

:eek:

Here’s the lowdown:

1. Secret of the Stole – no way I’m frogging this. I’m enjoying the pattern so far, and the knitalong seems fun.

2. Waves Scarf – definitely finishing this. The pattern is super easy, the yarn is scrumptious, but my only concern is that I might need to buy one more skein of Malabrigo to finish. Not sure yet, though.

3. Cabled Gauntlets – I don’t love these as much as I thought I would. I’ve started the second one but I lack the motivation to finish.

4. 3×1 Arm Socks – I knit on the first one like a fiend, started the second one, and then…just fizzled. I’ll finish for sure, though, because I do like the look and feel of the first one.

5. Montego Bay Scarf – I probably started this at the wrong time of year, it being autumn and this is more of a spring scarf! This might have to be frogged, as I’m not too far along into the pattern.

6. Austermann Step Socks – Second Sock Syndrome, anyone? It’s all stockinette so it will fly by, but darnit I have no motivation!

7. Peaks & Valleys Socks – it doesn’t help that the pattern had errors, no errata that I could find online, and my second skein of yarn is noticeably darker than the first, blar! I’ve cast on the second, but for those reasons, stalled completely.

8. Mona Socks – I remember knitting the first one rather quickly, and it’s a Cookie A. pattern so it automatically rules, but it’s SSS yet again.

9. Dublin Bay Socks – I knit the first sock when I still lived in New Mexico. That’s over 7 months ago, people. oy…once again, I’m chalking it up to SSS.

10. Green Gable – I do not like Cotton Fleece.

11. Retro Redux Shrug – I love the look of the shrug but the pattern is more ribbing than lace. Hence, I’m sort of bored.

12. Wicked – the pattern is very well written but this is definitely getting frogged. I don’t think I’ve found the right pattern for this yarn, either.

13. Cashmere Arm Cosy – this is another “definitely will finish.” It’s also another NM project. The major thing holding me back? Seaming the stinking thing at the end. I HATE seaming, argggg!

and 14. Karaoke Cable Scarf – this is actually sitting in one of my plastic totes, under some yarn, lol. I need to dig this out–now that I’ve learned needle-less cabling, it should go by more quickly. :) oh wait, do I even have enough yarn to finish the scarf?? crap…

Clearly, I need help here!

    I think that list is not so bad – socks could be finished in less than a week, the same as the scarves, so i wouldn’t count them as “whole items” :)
    That leaves just 3 larger projects, I mean that’s great!
    Compared to me who has 5 lace projects on the needles (all the needles I’ve got!) that is pretty good :grin:
