Managing projects
Not a great picture, but these are the knitting projects I'm focusing on now.
Three of them are gifts and are getting varying degrees of attention. So I decided to rotate them. Everyday, I will work on one and then the next, work on another, and then the next day another, etc. Some days I get more knitting in than others, so this should ensure that they all get some progress. Especially the sloggy projects.
I started this weekend and this is how it's shaking out so far.
Sat: started the Baby Blanket for Husband's secretary, who's due in February. (Lower right)
Yarn: Various worsted weight cotton and superwash wool yarns, held double.
Needle: US 10 (6mm)
Construction: Center out, stockingnette and garter stitches.
Sun: Husband's Blanket (lower left)
Yarn: various worsted weight wool (not superwash, I don't know what I was thinking), black and pastel colors, held double.
Needle: US 10 (6mm)
Construction: Using the Chinese Coin quilt pattern, but in stockingnette stitch
Mon: Sister and Brother-in-Law's Blanket (upper left)
Yarn: Various worsted weight superwash wool yarns in shades of blue and natural, held double.
Needle: US 10 (6mm)
Construction: Cast on 200 stitches, random stockingnette stripes
Tue: Sweater for me (upper right)
Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed, DK weight
Needle: US 6 (4mm)
Construction: Top down, funnel neck, raglan sleeves, stockingnette stitch.
Wed: back to the Baby Blanket
Thur: Husband's Blanket
and so on.
I just started this on Saturday, so we'll see how long I manage this.
One snafu already: what will be my portable knitting? So far, the DK weight sweater is still at a size and stage that is portable, and I'm going to a reading tonight, a lunch with a friend tomorrow, and an HOA meeting Wed night. So I'll probably take the sweater for those days, and thus wrecking my knitting schedule already.
Option: Take the sweater out of the rotation, use it only as portable knitting. Then add it to the rotation when it gets too big to be portable.

Lots of blankets there. Maybe you should knit socks as your portables.
