Lost Control -Well not completely

When I sat at the computer today to write a post, the first thought that came to mind was that I just have too many projects started....I lost Control!

Some items in the photo are just a few steps from completion -- weave in a strand or sew on buttons. Others are half finished and some are really just me designing- make a sample swatch or knitting a shawl as I design it.   There is crochet and knitting in the mix.  Charity and gifts.



And did you notice the lovely bags to hold my projects.
(Thanks Katie and Brenda)


Now I could beat myself up about this situation, but the truth of the matter is I need diversity.   I need to have different skill level projects to meet the needs of knitting gatherings..you know it's best to have a mindless project when you knit at Murphy's Pub.  You understand, just in case a cool beer or Margarita fits the bill that day.   
(as an aside, this has been the hottest summer ever).  

How many projects do you have started?   
I have 9. .  No wait, where is that beautiful chevron scarf with the Spanish Yarn????

More Blankets--Lucille Packard Children's Hospital @Stanford


It feels wonderful to give to others.   I have been fortunate in getting the very best of care at Stanford Hospital and it was the small touches that gave me more strength in my healing.   Nurses and assistants who listened and showed they cared,  that beautiful stone heart and the confidence of my surgeon .. making these blankets is my way of saying thank you... plus I get to play with so many colors and designs...  fun, fun, fun...
