Catching up | #Followyourarrowkal {Knitting}

Wednesday, 12 February 2014

Catching up is what my life is all about at the moment. I have been travelling a bit for work, and despite taking a few projects with me, I never get to make as much progress as I would like. And of course when I come back, it is all about catching up with Baby MiH and Mr MiH, doing some washing, cooking for my boys, packing/unpacking and sleep..


I would like to say that the #followyourarrowkal has not progressed as much as I hoped because of this but it is just not true. I am losing interest in it as it is just too small for me. I have been on IG a lot to see how other projects were progressing and other knitters are sharing my frustration. 


And of course until this Monday (the last clue in the KAL), I did not know what to do about it - and actually even know that I have all the clues, I am still wondering if I am just not going to frog it and use that beautiful yarn for something else. 


It totally goes against signing up for a pattern - but it was a mystery KAL so I did not know what I was going to knit really and on the positive side I have now a beautiful lace pattern in my Ravelry library that I could use elsewhere. 


So what would you do people, carry on - making it up as I go along, hoping that it will grow enough to become wearable or just frog and start something that I will like (such as this pattern)?

I usually do not follow KAL because I never end up finishing them BUT I just had to join this one. It starts on January 13, and you need 622m of fingering weight yarn. 

I chose this Artesano Definition Sock yarn in Kidney Bean found here. Cannot wait to cast on. I am not sure how much I will be able to share but there will be sneak peeks here and there!

You can sign up on Ravelry, you will join the fun?
