Strip Two Complete

I finished the 2nd strip for my country lapghan last night and started on strip three. This one will be neat because the color sequence is slightly different. I’m doing 2 strips each of 2 sequences and 1 strip of the third sequence. I did the last 2 the same so this one will look a bit different. I look forward to getting it complete. It’s simple mindless knitting, so I’m having a great time with it. I’ll post pictures tonight of my 2 completed strips. I snapped them this morning, but didn’t have enough time to post them before heading out to work.

The plan is to complete this project, then finish my other afghan, which I’ve got about 9 squares left to crochet, then piece it together. Once those are done, I’ll only have my socks and Chamomile left. I think that will make it less daunting. I don’t know why I’m so hesitant to finish Chamomile, because my sleeves turned out so much better than I was expecting. I get so proud every time I look at them and I’m amazed that they turned out identical, since they were my first and I did them separately. But working on the afghan has definitely sparked my interest. I’m not going to overwhelm myself though. I think that is what got me so burned out to begin with. So I’m just going to work on what I’ve started and get those finished in an even steady progress. Then start on some of the other projects I’ve got waiting in the wings. I’m not going to overwhelm myself though. I have yarn and a pattern for a sleeveless top, but it may have to wait till next spring. With it being the first day of fall, I’m starting to get that itchy need to have a sweater. Good incentive to finish Chamomile, and my afghans so I can start on my Dolman sweater. I also would like to see a completed pair of socks. This pair has been put on hold, partly I think, because I’m doing them on dpns. I hate working with them, but amazingly my sock is coming out just fine and I had no problems with the heel. I just followed the pattern and it came out pretty well. I have only to finish the foot and close the toe for the first sock to be complete. But God, how I hate those dpns.
