“Examine for a moment an ordinary mind…”

“…on an ordinary day.”

I’m currently writing this with four projects still on the needles. I am hoping to get them all finished by the 
middle of December (the only trouble I think I will have is summoning the willpower to continue those socks for CB) and I can’t help but think of my next lot of projects.

Obviously I still owe CB a jumper. I have a lovely pattern for it (Navigate - Ravelry link here) and some lovely wool (Cascade Yarns Heritage in navy). This will be the next thing I cast on.

It would also be a snip to knit up a couple of baby hats. That will allow me to give the most recent new mothers in my life a little gift, but not mean I am once again putting off Navigate. I should also be able to use up some of my stash on them, which is always a nice feeling. 

But then what?

My queue will then be empty. A bizarre occurrence. Obviously I have plenty of patterns in my favourites, but I have to actually decide what to make. And buy some wool.

The only reason I feel I should make this decision now is because I can buy the wool for the next few projects at a reduced cost in Black Friday sales…but it seems a little premature. It feels disrespectful to the projects I need to finish (and start!) first. 

So what’s on the long-list at the moment? Too many similar things!

Not including Navigate or two baby hats, I have 39 faves:

• 17 jumpers
• 6 cowls/scarves
• 2 things for CB
• 6 knitspo
• 4 baby things
• 3 tops
• 1 hat

From those numbers I’m think I should knit a jumper and a cowl. 

And always something for CB. Even if it never gets made...
