Year of Projects: Week 5/14/15

Well geesh...I skipped two weeks.........just a lazy, lazy bum and didn't want to get on the computer.....ETA:  it is now Week 14, so I skipped MANY weeks! And now another week has passed! 

Wow this weekend was one for crazeeeeee dreams! And not sleeping well....

Have I crafted...yes, a bit here and there....but having a bit of ADD about my projects....I'll pick one up...knit/crochet a few rows and then switch it out for something new....maybe I just need a palette cleanser and need to start something new.....Will be picking up yarn today for a new something...so maybe that....

So let's start from here....week 14: I spent many weeks not crafting, between the pain...and report cards.....this week report card grades were due and I also caught a stomach virus! UGH!  If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am on a new medication: Simphoni Aria, which is a biologic, so I have had two infusions so far....the first caused severe swelling and my hand was bruised for over a week...so no crafting happened then...the second went much better....I get the next in May...overall, I feel better, but I still have days of pain, especially in bad weather....it could take several months before it works to it's potential....we'll see

I am still having some ADD about projects...so my crafting mojo has come and gone, come back a little bit....I don't "really want to" (said in a very WHINY voice) work on any of my projects...but I also know, they are OUT of CONTROL at the moment!  I have decided I WILL NOT (Scout's Honor - yes I was a Scout) join any KAL/CAL this year.....but man that Find Your Fade has kind of been calling...but I KNOW it'll take me Y.E.A.R.S to finish that!!!!!!!

So let's see some of the things I have done!  I haven't finished a thing since February!
ETA:  Well that's no longer true, as this was my vacation week, I finished a few projects...you cna check them out at this post...if you are inclined....

Works In Progress:         
WIPS: Crochet:
Round Ripple: (Started 2006 (?) Aiden)-not sure he'd want this anymore, being a high school freshman and all, but I think I'll finish it for him.
Around the World Afghan: (April 2010): about ¼ done - I looked at this recently and I'm still liking it, so I'll keep it...maybe make it a baby blanket instead.
Sunrise Sunset Afghan: this has been hibernating awhile, 6 squares done. I still love the look of this.
Tabard Tunic (NW Diss 2/1/14) - Haven't made a final decision on this yet.
Throwback Poncho 2/19/17

 
Knit:
Learn to Knit Afghan: (started 2010): 3 squares done, I put this in the giveaway yarn bags..not thrilled with colors....will use squares at school for water bottles..
Shark in the Woods (11/27/14)- I really love this, but it's a lot of cabling and I'm not a fan..about 1/2 done.
Vanilla fingerless mitts (12/25/15) - Think I'm going to frog and do different mitts or crochet them.
Zombie Vixen mitts (10/17/15)- why I may crochet the others...have these and still working on them, again cabling
Garter Path Shawlette (5/30/16)- I have frogged this a couple of times...
Swinging with Winkle (6/4/16)- I love this so much!  Just need to finish it!

Meandering Top (5/20/16) - Totally forgot about this...could get it done to wear in spring...I think I was debating whether to do the bottom ruffle...it's not a good placement for me...

Multnomah (8/21/16)- hmm, love the pattern and color will match just about anything...
Warm Neck (8/2/16)- almost done...this was my go-to mindless project, so need to get back to it..

Bulky Cowl - this hurts my hands to work on...think I need slippery needles...
Slopes Sweater- (1/1/17) 

Socks:
Kai-Mei: (April 2012) - has not changed, did not take new picture

Carlos and Arne socks (July 3 2015)- using a 9" needle...keep losing stitches.

Espalier Socks (Jan 10, 2016) - started and stopped...

Spring is in the Air (2/16/16)- I love these, need to finish them!

I've got 10 sock WIPs going on!  I frogged one....not all of them are even on the list....ETA: frogged a second one and finished two. BUT, I started at least two more...I'm not even sure at this point...

Scarves/Shawls:
Splashy Flowers: (May 2011) - add a motif scarf, don't see that being finished soon...
Light in Shadows (1/14/14) - I love this so much...need to start the new direction, so need to sit down and figure it out..

Willow Fields (9/6/14) - ran out of yarn, waiting on yarn 
My Shelly Valentine (2/10/16) - should finish for this year's Valentine's Day, yeah, that did not happen

 
Bags:
Beach Bag: (started May 2010)  Just needs lining sewn in, I used it this year without the lining...so may just call it a day on this....

 KAL/CALs:
Fire and Blood (5/4/14) - not anytime soon

Outlander MKAL (8/8/14)  - possibility of finishing this..the yarn is so yummy

So I have finished a few projects and started a few more....I think I have about three projects not on this list or on Ravelry yet that are now WIPs......eh...it is what it is.......hopefully I'll be back next week with a more up to date list....
