Exhibit A:
Cut Paste Socks
Cast on: November 12 / in progress
After I finished the Niagara Falls socks, I had already planned to start this pair, so I did. I had tried the pattern out with the yarn from the bubble wrap socks, but the combination didn’t do the pattern justice, so I hunted down a skein of Smooshy just to knit this pattern. It knew what it was destined for and was eager to get going.
Exhibit B:
Wiggles socks for Sylvia:
Cast On: November 13 / Finished November 17
This yarn was leftover from one of the pairs of socks I knit last summer. Leftover sock yarn practically begs to become baby socks. Besides, what little one doesn’t need a whole drawer full of socks from her Nana… this is pair one of many.
Exhibit C:
The Fidget
Cast On: November 15 / in progress
This black yarn had my number from the moment I first laid eyes on it, but I knew it would only be enough for a small project. It’s been jumping up and down saying “me next” since I brought it home in July, so I decided it would be the next project once I got the vest blocked. I put the Fidget pattern in my queue when I first came upon it and after sorting through one skein options, it seemed like the best match for a small project with this yarn. It’s not a perfect match, but I think it works.
Exhibit D:
Plain Socks:
Cast on: November 16 / in progress
This “orphan” skein of Mountain Colors Bearfoot has been in the sale bin at work for a couple of weeks and the whimpering and sobbing got the best of me at work the other night, so I had to buy it and start knitting with it just to get it to be quiet.
And that’s not the worst part… now there’s a sweet little skein of Brooks Farm Harmony that has been calling my name and hinting that it wants to be a stole… sigh
To it I say “be quiet for now”… as of tonight it will be all vest all the time until it’s finished.
I hope your yarn isn’t being so demanding of you.
Happy (prolific) Knitting!
Nana

I have had this same problem! That is why I started in so heavily on socks recently! Hopefully you can get some of the projects knocked out quickly and have a more manageable load!
Also, I think Sylvia will love her Nana-made socks! She has just started sleeping with her Nana-made blanket the last few nights since it's gotten so cold here, and she loves it!
Oh yes, I'm right there with you! I'm trying to finish up a sock that's been on the needles for so long, and while I'm knitting on the foot of the 2nd sock, all I can think abt is what yarn to pull out next to knit with.....
