Butterfly Crafting...

.....has nothing to do with making butterflies. No- it is when you start one project and leave it down to start another. You all do it right?

Don't you??

Any of you???...

just me then?????

Well I have a couple of things on the go at the moment. One is a cosy lap blanket (for meself) for when I am feeling chilly waiting for the fire to get going in the stove.  

I am knitting it in squares because I have no patience and so when I have four squares done I can sew them together and put it on my knees and just add to it to to make it bigger!

The colour is a soft blue and my needles are made of wood as I can't use metal needles as they set my teeth on edge to use...does anyone else have that problem?

No??? ..just me again!

I keep my knitting in this lovely basket I thrifted to resell but could not part with. You do that too right?...right???  Now I KNOW you all do that. Not just me.

I am also working on my lovely patchwork quilt and yes, you guessed right...I do a line of patches and stitch them to the main one as I finish each line. (Must develop a little patience :-)

Your quilt is beautiful already! Love the color, love the stitch.

As for patience...I'm with you!

no, not just you, I've still got some projects to finish from August last year!
and I started a cross stitch kit which my Gran bought me years ago, I wanted to finish it before she passed away (1997) but sadly I didn't, but I found the finished picture in a hospice shop(the same hospice that cared for my Dad) so I bought it and it on my living room wall, yes I know thats cheating! my new years resolution is to finish things!!

I love the color!! That will look so nice in your cottage.

I have unfinished crafts everywhere!!! It's the A.D.D again. LOL!
Your knitting is so good and I love those wood needles.
They are hard to come by out here. I have to deal with those metal ones. Ugh!!

Hmm, ebay... any excuse to log on to ebay.
Maybe I can find some there :) And when husband asks I
will blame it all on you. Hehe!

Mr. B once told me I could start a shop for "unfinished projects" - he's right! I recently found a darling pattern pinned to some soft, cute flannel, for a baby nightgown...for my son...who is 38!!!!
And I too love the wood needles. The feel of the wood is so much warmer than the metal - and it make one feel they could have been knitting like this hundreds of years ago. The color is really pretty! Keep at it!

Thank you so much for the kind comments on my blog. I am honored to accept your gift for the gab award!

I have no patience for knitting, which is kind of funny, because I am always told I am a very patient person, maybe it is just *time* I don't have. Although, I could sit for hours and just watch my moms hands go to work on her knitting projects.:)

I do the same thing. Start one project then tire of it and start another. Usually I have a sweater or something larger going and a pair of socks at the same time, or sometimes fingerless mittens. I just love to have the yarn in my basket beside my chair and visualize it in the patterns I'm knitting or crocheting. Right now I would love to finish an afghan I started a few years ago but crocheting hurts my wrist and knitting doesn't so it's put away for another day!
