I am making great progress on the DNA Scarf.
Tonight I should finish up the tenth pattern repeat and start on the eleventh (hopefully). Tomorrow night I’ll have a lot of knitting time and finish the eleventh and will see if I have enough yarn for a twelfth repeat.
Even thought it’s taking me a while to knit, it’s totally worth it. It’s such an interesting pattern and the DNA cables look great.
So I’ve fallen into bad habits. Even though I have a few other projects I’d like to finish like my honey cowl and Fishtail Lace Scarf, I started looking through patterns on Ravelry with my stash in mind.
I keep thinking about how sparkly and pretty this yarn is and how I need a pretty shawl made out of it’s loveliness.
And I found what I think will be the perfect pattern. The Augustine Shawlette stuck out and I kept going back and forth and telling myself to be patient. I love the way it drapes and the way it can be worn loose like a shawl or tighter like a scarf.
My curiosity got the best of me and I had to read the pattern. So I bought the pattern the other night just so I could read it.
I clearly cannot start this project but I couldn’t help myself. It’s such a bad habit because there is so much joy in actually wearing the finished objects and I can’t keep tempting myself with new projects.
I guess there are worse habits.
That is a GORGEOUS scarf! Nice work
Thank you. I am pretty pleased with how it’s coming along.
The scarf looks wonderful! I think we’re all guilty of looking at, and even starting, new projects before we’ve finished current WIPs. I congratulated myself yesterday on getting down to one current project …. and then I cast on a sweater in the evening!
The Augustine shawlette looks really intriguing – thanks for sharing your discovery. I’ve added it to my queue!
Thank you! I suspect it’s probably a habit of all knitters (and all people who just really enjoy doing something). I just have to remember that I like finishing projects too.
I can’t wait to start that shawlette.
