I will admit it. I definitely have Knitting A.D.D. I get really bored working on the same project for more than an hour or so. For that reason, I have multiple projects going all the time. I work on one for a while and then tuck it back into one of my knitting totes and work on another. The end result is that I hardly ever have an end result. Nothing ever gets finished.
One of the projects currently on my needles is the Easy Lace Cowl found in the Fall 2010 Accessorize with Style Magazine published by Creative Knitting.
It really is an easy knit - with just a 2 row repeat after the ribbed start. Lots of YO's and that has always been a problem for me. (For any non-knitters who are reading - a YO is a yarn over. That is when you wrap the yarn around the needle before knitting or purling the next stitch.) Because it is not something I do a lot when knitting, I tend to get on a roll and forget to do them.
I picked a really pretty denim blue yarn because I think I might be making this for myself. Since I only wear jeans, it will match everything I own. The yarn I am using is Swedish - Tropik by Jarbo Garn.
It is 50% Bamboo, 25% Cotton, 25% Acrylic and really soft. Kind of splitty - but not so bad that I am hating it. This picture really doesn't do it justice. It is a nice rich blue.
At my current rate of knitting, this will not be finished for wearing this winter. Fortunately, winter will come around again.
