Hi SueAnthony, yes I agree with having more than one project on the go, it makes life a little more interesting
Besides I'm a bit of a butterfly, I need to have several projects on the go, knitting, cross stitch, reading, oh and somewhere inbetween some work as well!! I remember making an aran jumper for myself once and although it was lovely, it unfortunately grew bigger and bigger every time I washed it, I think the wool that I used wasn't a good quality, so I learnt that lesson very quickly. No point in putting all that effort in, if it's not going to last! I've got lots of knitting patterns, lately I've sourced lots from charity shops, wonderful vintage patterns, as well as some new booklets at really silly prices, like 20p instead of over £6.00 in the shops! You will have to post a picture of your knitting when you've finished it, so we can see what it's turned out like! Happy knitting, x
