Between Projects

I am an unusual knitter, at least if I go by what I read online.  I generally have one project going at a time.  (I hear that most knitters have many projects going.  I don't even have any UFOs.)  So, when I finish a project, I'm at a loss.  My fingers start to itch.  I need to have something to work on.

I only recently learned how to have more than one project going at a time.  I had been knitting two scarves.  I finished the first one last week.

I finished the second one yesterday.

Now I have to figure out what to knit next.

Today, I got an email telling me that the preview for the next issue of Vogue Knitting is up.  Of course, I had to check it out.  Interesting, but nothing I'm terribly interested in making.  (Heather, check out the second sweater under "Head of the Class".  It made me think of you.)

I guess until I find something I really want to knit, I'll have to work on bottle cozies or those hair things that I make a version of.  They won't take long, but they'll keep my hands moving.  I have to keep my hands moving.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
