Oh, the guilt!

I have a confession...

I have WIP guilt. I have so many things on the needles and I am starting to want to stuff them in the back of the closet to muffle their little cries of "Knit me!" Oh... wait... not quite. ;)

In an effort to come clean and maybe get some help (so, bug me about these WIPs once in a while!) I'm going to post them all today.

So here goes in kinda-chronological order from oldest:

1. The Ribbed Ribbon Tank

I bought this yarn on sale to make the Ribbon X Back from knitty, but when I swatched I discovered that even though the yarn was supposed to be the right gauge I really didn't like the fabric. I tried going down to smaller needles, but I didn't like all that seed stitch. I decided to design my own tank, and I was afraid I wouldn't have enough yarn. This one might just get ripped.



2. Elizabeth I

This one doesn't have a good story, I just don't often have the time alone and the attention to dedicate to the chart. It also seems to be MIA... I think I packed it "somewhere safe".

3. Hush Hush

I intended this to be a long-term project, and it is. Also the yarn is on a cone so it's not very portable.



4. Fun Blanket

Another one that was intended to be long-term. Actually just whenever I get bored I'll work on it, although I do want to get it finished by December.



5. Felted Bag

I guess I'm just not feeling the love - it's a rather boring project. Although I should just get it done with cuz there's not much left to do.



6. Canal du Midi (greenish)

I don't have a good excuse, except that I kept taking the needles out for other projects.



7. Test Knit (pictured above, brown)

These are recent so I don't need an excuse. :)

8. Hippy Crunchy

20 row lace chart. That's all I have to say.



9. Dishcloth

Now that is just pathetic!

10. Cherie

What was supposed to be mindless knitting has now scared me when I read about problems others were having with the pattern.



11. Cables

My cabled scarf. This project is for me, and I won't need it til next winter, hence no motivation. Also "somewhere safe".

12. Mystic Sea (tiny)

Socks started at sock camp, and I have had other more deadline-oriented items.



13. Lichen Rib (blue above)

These are actually progressing quite nicely.

P.S. There are actually two more scarves that I started in fits of boredom that have no intended recipient or purpose, so I'm not really counting those.

So, what do I intend to *do* about this? Well I am setting a goal to finish four of these items in May. Not just four items, cuz then I would just start and finish new stuff. It will probably help that I dragged them all out of their hiding places and now have them relatively organized and accessible.
