Year of Projects 15 – Week 6

Welcome to this weeks year of project update. How are we already into August and the second week at that. I feel life and time are so busy at the moment I blink and it’s time for a Sunday

So let’s have a chat on the new Vest Top for which you can find my Ravelry project page HERE. I know many of you were disappointed to see the purple go, and I wish it photographed as the true deep royal purple it was, but I knew in my heart I just would not be comfortable and now-a-days I prefer to live as me, authentically and comfortable lol.

What I can tell you is I have loved picking this up every chance I could get this past week, I’ve knit consistently on the train all week and any chance I get in between at lunch times at work. I’m just gone beyond the point of where I was when I ripped back the work done and I’m excited to see it grow even more now. I do need to order two more balls of yarn to allow for not using a second colour but for now I’ve enough to finish off the back side of the project and while I wait, begin the front of it.

That is it from me for the week, still just mogonmsouly knitting on the one project and enjoying it. Whether I’m behind, on schedule, or ahead for the year is irelevant to me. For me I am enjoying the process.

Looking forward to catching up with you all.

    For me, my knitting plan is more something I chuckle over at the end of the year. I rarely knit the patterns I was planning much less the projects. Life happens. Cuter patterns appear. Projects take longer to knit than I planned. Etc. I agree I like your one color version better.

      Exactly, the plans are just a rough guideline if you will for when you can’t think what to knit or make next lol, and thank you I’m really loving how it is looking now.

    I am a monogamous knitter too. I love that pattern, I can see why you want to keep working on it to see the pattern emerging.

    Certainly best to be true to yoursel, after all we aren’t the ones you are making it for. As my years in the group go on, I am less caught up with the idea I actually have to finish it all. Now it’s more a reminder of what I wanted to do but it changes through the year.
