WIPs.

We've got a lot of them at casaKnitty. Let's take stock:
- the brilliant pink summer tweed raglan cardie is on hiatus due to...
- the frog tree slate-colored cotton raglan v-neck, which is moving ahead at full steam [which means I'm halfway done the back]
- I've already mentioned the VK-based lace cardie in lime Trinity that's on long-term hiatus till mid-winter when I'm dying for spring to come [and it's got some problems with the math, so it will require some actual thought too]

and what else? That doesn't sound like much, compared to, say, Steph. But the rest of my WIPs are rolling about in my head, because most aren't even yarn yet.

One of them will be my version of this. Let me be clear: I can not POSSIBLY spin anything as beautiful as the handspun you can buy at Hello Yarn. But like a mother thinks her child is the most beautiful in the world, my inconsistent handspun is beautiful to me. And I really want to wrap myself in yarn I've made myself. This will likely be made from whatever comes off my wheel in the next while, since I'll need a lot of it to make anything worth wearing. Probably much of the Rhinebeck booty will find its way in there. That thought makes me very happy.

The other one is My So-Called Scarf, to be done from the product of my handspindles and hankies [patience, pet]. I was knitting this pattern in Schaefer's Laurel [100% cotton] on the way down to Rhinebeck and knew it was the wrong yarn, but loved the pattern. So I'll do it right this time.

So there you go. It's much more about the process than the product for me, at this point. Which is very unlike me. Being a one-project-at-a-time knitter [as I was for most of my knitting life] was clearly all about product. Now it's about choosing the thing to do with my hands that feels right at the time. Flow.

Oh, and Sally Melville, who explains the process of Flow so very well [and was the one who explained it to me, the first time I heard her at the DKC], will be at the DKC next Wednesday. I can't wait!
