Now it is on for an hour each day I get lots more done. But I always keep the basket by my chair so if time does happen during the day the project is handy to pick up and work on.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114199768103222510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-72079254414248908642011-10-04T11:38:09.966-04:002011-10-04T11:38:09.966-04:00"If I store it, sweaters will come,"...h..."If I store it, sweaters will come,"...hahahaha.

The baby sweater is adorable too. :)<br /><br />As for planning when to do projects, I have a problem with enjoying too many crafts! Granted - it's not a BAD problem, but I'm always switching between crafts so it's more a question of what I'm feeling like doing on any particular day.Natalie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305110742701405240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-747091528163976662011-10-03T15:10:21.391-04:002011-10-03T15:10:21.391-04:00What a gorgeous stash of yarn.

But I have waaaay more fabric than yarn since I sew more than I knit. <br /><br />I love that pile of soft gray yarn in the last photo, what are you making from it? I'm hoping to make a Mobius wrap this autumn.<br /><br />And the baby things - so adorable.

I am blessed with time to make my projects so I just wait for the inclination to strike and then I'm hard at it until it's complete. I do have a number of ongoing projects just like everyone. Some of them need to be ditched because I am pretty sure I'm never going back to them.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-46309461660199542332011-10-02T21:41:54.856-04:002011-10-02T21:41:54.856-04:00Those skeins of yarn make me want to learn to knit...Those skeins of yarn make me want to learn to knit or crochet...or maybe I just need to collect yarn :-) Have a beautiful week...that little sweater and booties is wonderful!!!!Thoughtfully Blended Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102061005480054019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-41248887359278762672011-10-02T21:29:46.355-04:002011-10-02T21:29:46.355-04:00I only have one bin but I too have yarn waiting......I only have one bin but I too have yarn waiting...One day soon a project I will start!

Fortunately, (or unfortunately as the case may be) I have a wonderful friend who gave me her mother's stash of yarn ... can you imagine ... my stash doubled in size. I've made one afghan for Christmas and am working on another. They are both crochet and both for gifts. The yarn wasn't part of my stash ... had to go out and buy more!!!!! I don't schedule. When the chores are done, I sit down and grab the hook and get busy. What ever you do ... HAVE FUN!!!!Snaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16648866385164116020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-42278430139032377922011-10-02T20:34:52.644-04:002011-10-02T20:34:52.644-04:00Gosh Karen, that is a lot of wool!

It's hard to find time in the summer but now with the cooler weather I'll work in my craft area more and mostly when the mood suits me.<br />Perhaps with the knitting (beautiful items shown) you can schedule 'me time' to work an hour or so every day?<br />I'll try to remember to ask how the sweater is coming along. :-)<br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237620571891876574.post-67819646314713918482011-10-02T20:32:42.628-04:002011-10-02T20:32:42.628-04:00I get in the mood to crochet or knit...or sew and ...I get in the mood to crochet or knit...or sew and that's all I want to do for awhile!
