Sometimes I get bored with the current project and need a change. This is what happened with a toddler sweater. The sweater is nearly complete with only a sleeve to go but alas it sits neglected in a bag in my knitting corner.
Sometimes I just can't wait to use a new yarn or try a new stitch. For example the poor rose garden scarf that was tossed aside to play with the new yarn I won on ebay.
Or sometimes I just need to knit something fast so that I can get that "knitter-high" that only comes when you finish a piece. This is what happened to that ebay yarn scarf.
And of course I have a million different projects in my head - like the baby leg warmers I started.
Sigh...
