That's the story of my life.
And it takes time to keep producing those hexagons too ...
Of course it's my own fault that there's so much to do. I keep starting something new before I even finish the ton of things I've already started. Such as this little green number I started last Summer ...
Well I did get all the pieces seamed this week and now I only have to pick up the stitches to do the collar section at the neckline and sew in all the ends & the two buttons. I intended to have it done for St. Patrick's day. And IF it happened to fit me [over a turtle neck jersey of course] I'll wear it on Monday. But will it really happen? I have that "Sculpture with Wool" class I'm giving tomorrow, so where is the TIME going to come from?
What else happened this week? Well ... I wanted to start some Spring cleaning [not that kind of cleaning] by using up left over balls of yarn or give it away. But who would want it right? Well some of it is so pretty, I might just roll it up and put it into a bowl on the coffee table. Gosh, how original is that, huh? [I'm not serious; I'm sure you have a bowl sitting out somewhere already.]
And then I discovered a project to use up the left-over sock yarn. You know how there's usually a small ball left after knitting a pair of socks for the small to average foot ... too big to throw out, yet too small to make another pair of socks? Well maybe one for a baby, but not always. Depends on the yarn company it came from. I can knit some sock earrings, but that doesn't take much more that a few feet.
See this is just a SMALL pile of the left overs [there's more, trust me] I have stashed away ...

Well I discovered the Tissue Sweater Cozy by Kmkat.typepad.com!
So in my spare time, I've whipped up just a couple ...
And a couple more to sew up along the edges and into the "gift giving" basket they'll go. Now isn't that a niffy idea?
Oh gosh ... there's more to show you but I just suddenly started feeling a little "overwhelmed".
I better go fix dinner. Let's hope there's some wine to go with it!
