I guess that makes me one polyamorous crafting-hussy because not only do I always have multiple WIPs lying around I'm also always trying out new crafts as well.

Come to think of it, right now is probably also a good time to start blankets in the northern hemisphere too; keeping cosy under a blanket-in-progress while in the midst of winter is an attractive thought.<br />In short, make blankets! All year round! :-) Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-15013175024108108882015-02-03T09:13:07.396+10:302015-02-03T09:13:07.396+10:30Hehehehe Anne!

"So many blankets... so little time" [anguish and torment] ;-)<br />Now is a great time to start blankets so they are ready to use when the cooler months arrive. <br />Having said that, I have a confession to make in my next blog entry!<br />Don't worry, I won't keep you in suspense for long. I hope this week finds life a little easier and happier for you. xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-67863994512392153812015-02-02T19:04:32.298+10:302015-02-02T19:04:32.298+10:30As Michelle I am rather excited about the green bl...As Michelle I am rather excited about the green blanket!

The blanket will be a variation on Candi Jensen's "Farm Fresh" blanket: <br />http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/farm-fresh<br />There is nothing worse than having a delay in a project and nothing to do. That is a good reason for crocheting multiple projects at once.<br />How do you cope with the pressure of orders? Does that ever affect your health? I hope you will get some time for yourself to attend to your pixel afghan. Good luck with getting the right colours. Take care :-)<br />Jodie<br />Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-12372053837849642402015-02-02T12:16:41.872+10:302015-02-02T12:16:41.872+10:30Hi Viola, thank you for taking time to write. Cro...Hi Viola, thank you for taking time to write. Crochet is really helpful for resting the body and mind. I agree with you that it is good to have a variety of projects for different moods etc. I don't know about you, but when I have a bunch of WIPs, somehow they all seem to finish within days of each other. It's a strange feeling to have had a number of projects around, only to suddenly have none! Does that ever happen to you? I seem to be most productive when I mix my activities up. It is great that you have found what works for you so that you can enjoy your crochet without boredom. I hope you are feeling much better very soon and will be thinking of you in the coming weeks. I hope there is something simple to be done to aid your recovery. Hugs, JodieJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-86276544599512920132015-01-30T22:37:29.152+10:302015-01-30T22:37:29.152+10:30Your projects all look so lovely!

I am particularly excited about that stunning green baby blanket :) Hopefully next time you can tell us about the pattern? <br /><br />My brain prefers me to be a one-project person, as finishing one thing before starting the next is easier on my anxiety. However, I am getting a bit better at having more than one (2? or 3?) project on the go, especially if it is something that has logical break points; i.e. the Sophie's Universe CAL I have to wait until the next part of the pattern is released, my animals I can finish the pieces and have them all bagged up with eyes and tail ready to join. I am very irritated with Stylecraft at the moment though - I have a new pixel afghan pattern all mapped out, but there is a stock problem with three of the colours that I need! My window for getting that done while I'm not busy with orders is slipping away, quite annoying! <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend! <br />Michelle<br />http://crochetbetweentwoworlds.blogspot.com.au Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910287804024257064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-63489386424856063372015-01-30T03:45:58.665+10:302015-01-30T03:45:58.665+10:30Dear Jodie, thank you for your encouraging and war...Dear Jodie, thank you for your encouraging and warm words you left on my blog. Yes, you are definitely right, we too often judge people by their productiveness, how much they are doing, producing, managing. But we ignore the fact that people are not able to be physically productive all the time. Time to rest, physically and mentally is a very important and precious instrument to keep us in good health. I am not surprised by the hight number of people suffering burnout or depression. Most people seem to have lost the ability to balance activity and rest. <br />Back to crochet: I am definitely a multiple-projects-crocheter. I could never only have one project in my basket. I need something big, something small, something easy, something difficult, maybe also something very colourful or something plain-coloured. The problem is that it always takes so much time to finish something because I have so many things to do. But I know that I will never change, having just one project on my hook would bore me tremendously. I am curious how your projects will come along. The yarn you've chosen looks very nice. Have a nice evening, VIolaViolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072929239520430693noreply@blogger.com
