I haven't been doing much knitting/crocheting the past couple weeks. Once I finished the seven (and a half) year cardi, I found I didn't have the mental bandwidth to figure out what I was going to make next.
But now that the school year is over, I have some time to start some new projects.
I began a swatch (in crochet)…
And then I started another kind of swatch (in knit)…
And that's all I'm going to say about them at the moment. (I'll talk about them a bit more once they begin to look like something.)
I love the crochet pattern and the color of the knit swatch. Looking forward to hearing more about them once they begin to look like something. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you're making. Do you take the summer off or do you work summer school too?
ReplyDeleteYears ago, your readers wouldn't have had a clue about what "mental bandwidth" was. Now we're all somewhat knowledgeable about our brave new techno world.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I wouldn't have had the language to describe it.
DeleteNow I’m curious to see what you make
ReplyDeleteDepending on how fast or slow I go, you'll know sooner or later :)
DeleteI can't wait to see what they turn into. I especially like the color on that second one, and the style you're knitting it in.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to.
ReplyDeleteGreat new projects, I love the crochet pattern, and the pretty blue knitted. Maybe a dragon will raise from one? Have fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI bet it will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Hi Liz - well done on selecting some projects - they'll keep you busy for a while?! Enjoy - I love the colours ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteOoohh. I really like the crochet pattern but I can't wait to see both. I'm finishing up keychains, hair bows and barrettes today and starting on some crochet in between my quilting. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting stitch. Hopefully the finished project will be cute.
DeleteI somehow missed all last week...my apologies!! I am looking forward to your new creative adventure. Love the blue
ReplyDeleteNo worries. My posts were just more of the same.
DeleteOoh!
ReplyDeleteMy mental bandwidth is so limited I don't even want to try to troubleshoot a pattern I'm working on that has gone wrong. I think I know, but I don't want to deal with it. I'll save it until "tomorrow" which I suspect may be months from now. So, kudos for moving forward with two, not one, projects!
ReplyDeleteBeen there. Generally, I find when I sit down to fix some mistake in my work, it isn't as hard to fix as I thought it would be. But the digging in... Yeah, sometimes you just don't want to. It'll be there when you're ready for it.
