Oh, let's see. I have the cobalt blanket that gets worked on during Kentucky
basketball games and I'm gonna have to make myself work on it more since
basketball season is almost over. I have the two sweaters on the looms,
which I cannot work on until my elbow stops hurting again. Actually, I am
working on one of the sweaters by doing the sleeves in crochet! I have my
scrap yarn blanket downstairs that gets worked on when we are down there due
to storms and is literally a scrap yarn blanket. Whenever I have yarn left
over from a project, it goes into the bag for that blanket! I have the
skinny scarf crochet project that travels with us whenever we go somewhere.
I also have a quilt on the frame in the basement that I work on when I am
down there doing laundry.

Yes, this (WIPS) is what I call them, though I do finally have one UFO.
My socks are always in the works. It is a great project that fits in a small
bag and it is my project that goes with me when I have finished an item and
I am putting the next project together. By putting together, I mean going
over the pattern and writing out anything that needs to be expanded (such as
repeat line x, so I copy line x down on that row) and loading it onto the
bookport plus, finding a bag to carry it in, gathering the yarn and needles,
and picking out notions.
Then, I have an afghan that sits in a fabric box beside my chair for tv
watching. This is a big project and after the first pattern repeat, it is
too big to carry with me so it gets worked on at a slower pace.
There is one other project that has lately become a wip. I wrote the pattern
myself and there was a problem, so I had to go back and rework the pattern
(I had graphed it and apparently I must have been high when I wrote out the
rows because they weren't even off by the same amount on each row). Plus, I
have discovered that I am not crazy about having to work with bobbins for
two color work. So, I really need to get back on this one before it becomes
a UFO.
My one lonely UFO is a sweater that I started. It has one sleeve left and I
simply have no desire to actually finish it, though I want it to be done and
gone.
