Experiments in yarn...
It seems I'm in a fairly experimental frame of mind when it comes to my yarn crafting just lately.
Not because I can't settle on one thing for a change, but because I have too many ideas and I'm afraid some of them will get lost in the ether unless I make a start on them now. Because I'm a bit of a stubborn finisher (mostly), I guess my thinking is, if I start them all, I'm reasonably sure I'll make myself finish them.
There's also a slight fear of 'lack of projects' fuelling my hooking on madness at the moment. Not something I normally suffer from, but a bout of 'not having much on the go and not knowing what to get on the go' after Christmas is still fresh in my mind, so while the cro-jo is ticking over nicely, I feel the need to harness it's energy for any potential sparse times ahead.
Not sure that this sort of 'preventative cro-jo protection' is possible or if it will be at all effective, but my brain seems to think it's worth a go!
As a result, so far I've...
- Started breaking into mini skeins for some hexagon sampling.
- Worked up various leaves, flowers and assorted bits of greenery for a potential little garden of some sort.
- Started a shawl and then started it again to test out different colour combinations.
- Whipped up a rather unsatisfactory red scarf-let to go with a new blouse I brought the other day.
That last one didn't go quite to plan, but I have another skein of the red I can use, so I might give that another go... see if I can't get closer to what I think I'm thinking it should be.
To be honest, some of these prototypes might not actually make it out of the beta testing phase, but thinking about ideas only gets me so far. Now has become the time to try!
