[Nfb-krafters-korner] mental block--and a weird one

[River Woman]

We probably all have some UFOs floating around - I have some that I put in 
containers and stack on my shelving in my yarn storage room. I have the 
yarn, the project itsels, the needles, and the directions with the UFO so 
that when I "get around tuit" I will have everything at my fingertips and 
can begin again and finish it.  I am normally working on three projects at a 
time. I keep all three out, each in a really nice basket, right beside the 
chair where I sit to knit and read books. Each day I decide which of the 
three will have priority that day, and begin. Sometimes I work on two 
projects a day, just to switch it off and keep my interest. Right now, in 
the baskets are:  A Prayer Shawl that is 2/3 done; a kitchen towel that has 
just been started a few days ago; and a scarf that is 1/2 finished. I am 
working madly on so I can give it to my husband on Saturday for his 
birthday. Lynda River Woman
