ADHD crafting strikes again!

 So... if you know, you know. I have three shawls on the needles, one is to the point where it has a big mistake RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE six rows down and I do not have the patience to take that all back so that's on hiatus. I have the other two shawls that I alternate between and then the orange sock I started and have not touched in a few weeks.

This is the crocheted skein almost finished. After that pooled section it went back to randomonium for a few more rows before the skein ran out. I was done. I then got an even crazier idea to cast on an entire five foot wide blanket instead of making a Lego brick one, just do a blanket in the Lego colors. So I cast on about 240 sts. Yes. You read that right, it was about that many and I did six rows all purl so it matched the cast on edge then am keeping the edges about six stitches in that stitch and do stockinette in the middle. Hoping to find some green that will work as a border and in between skeins because I will not get that far with one skein.

Now as for the other yarns. 

I have this crazy yarn from making a hat for Katie and decided to see how it would look as a Ten Stitch Blanket. It took me two days and four restarts to finally get through the second turn. I have made two others in the past but you can see where I'm going with this. Bright center then fade to lighter color on the outside. They're all similar types of yarn, that soft type that will get fuzzy if you work it too much. The bright one is Soft & Shiny from Michael's and the other two are Yarn Bee from HL. That is some of the messiest knitting I've done in some time like I haven't knitted in decades. I'm using size 8 double points that are vintage metal I got from the 'community' table in our complex from someone who had to move (or other circumstance that happens with elderly people). 

 Bernat 7 inch double pointeds in grey painted metal for $.60. 'Made in England by Aero.' So yeah, and they looked like they had never been used. I was going to use an ultra short circular needle set but it was getting annoying with the very short bamboo tips being too short and the metal ones were too long. I might switch back to that at some point because dropping these is incredibly noisy on a hard floor. They aren't hollow aluminium (yes I spelled that the way Brits say it)... they are solid.

So I work on a shawl for a row or two, the huge blanket the same way and then go to a small project and cycle through them again. Such is the way of sporadic crafters with ADHD. Don't get me started on if I had the money to get yarn what I would do with it.

My grandsons have favorite colors and one of them is black, red and orange. He has a jacket with those colors and I got the crazy idea to try and find a yarn that could mimic that for a hat or something. Well I found one. Red Heart 'Moody Cherry' All in One Granny Square yarn. And... you guessed it, discontinued. Or at least not available at a storefront, would have to order it online. I would not be doing a granny square I can tell you. I tried. Maybe it was the yarn or constant distractions but it didn't work for me.

Anyway. Just another crazy idea. I'm an idea person really. If I were a rich person I would come up with an idea, connect with someone that would be able to follow through and do the finish work and then get paid for having the idea. Right? That's a job isn't it?
