Lately I have been trying to limit the number of projects I'm working on at a given time. I have a tendency to start projects and not finish them, and at one time in the past I remember counting way too many unfinished projects in my little basket, none of which seemed to be making any progress toward completion.
In the hopes of improving my completion to start ratio I pledged to myself to only work on one or maybe two projects at a time. This was going quite well until I reached the bottom of my bag which requires some kind of plastic-y reinforcer. I'm not exactly sure what they are talking about although I have an idea, the pattern calls for "plastic mesh canvas" and the only thing I can think of is that poky plastic stuff that I practiced sewing on when I was a tiny tot. Being a natural fiber girl, the addition of plastic to my beautiful wool creation does not sound appealing. Plus that means I have to go to JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's or an equally overwhelming and sometimes appalling "Craft" store.
As a healthy and well practiced procrastinator, I came up with a different solution: Start a new project!! It's just a small project. A pair of socks. It's getting cold and I need some more nice warm wool socks to keep my toes happy. No big deal. I'll finish the bag soon, I just have to go to the store. I can't not knit, just because I haven't had time to go to the stupid store. Yeah...that's it...
