“Quarterly” Review

It’s time to do a sort-of quarterly review of my UFO status (UnFinished Objects).

Below is the list of projects I wrote about in January plus a few more. I thought categorizing them would make me feel more productive. It does and it doesn’t. 

I’ve actually completed more projects than I’ve started. Which is a goal of mine this year. So I guess I’m doing OK so far. I think.

Still a UFO or became a UFO:

• spinning an indigo dyed merino/bamboo blend yarn
• spinning golden beige silk on a drop spindle
• knitting a Central Park Hoodie cardigan - needs blocking
• frogging a quarter done scarf of alpaca blend yarn

Fiber Exchange UFOs that have become WIPs (Works In Progress):

• spin cotton on a charkha and weave the finished yarn into cloth 
• weave a triangle shawl - needs finishing and embellishment
• felted some lovely green merino fiber - more to be felted

New WIPs:

• knitting the Retro Tee in Classic Elite Lotus Blossom Cotton yarn
• long wool spinning study for Saturday Spinners Guild

UFOs and new items that got Finished:

• hand-quilted a child's quilt for a friend 
• sewed a yoga mat bag
• test knitted the Glenrowen Hat for Azalea Rosebud Fiberworks
• felted a scarf from fuschia merino/tencel blend roving

With this list in hand, I ask myself the following questions:

• Do I have too many projects going at the same time? 
• Are there too many different types of projects?
• Is it possible to work on only one project at a time? 
• Is that a silly question to ask of a creative person?
• Am I a creative person or chaotic person?

Ummm, I guess these questions make me an ongoing WIP.
