I’m behind on the ADVENTurous wrap knit-along. Like, really behind. It shouldn’t matter. There isn’t really anything riding on this. But I really hate being behind in a knit-along. If I ever invent a time machine, this KAL is one of the things I will go back and fix. That’s how much I hate being behind.
Now the reason I’m behind is a good one. I started out trying to be all wild and free, just knitting the yarns as they came out of the kit with no attempt to pre-organize them. That did not work. I’m not that person. Occasionally I like to feel like I am wild and free, but I’m not. So I wasted 7 days of knitting time due to my self-delusion, and then a day or 2 to get real, organize and wind the yarn, and start again. As a result, I am much, much happier with how the project is turning out, except for the being behind part.
But! I am a bit more than halfway done now – here is the halfway mark…
…and I have a decent start on the second half. So it will get done eventually – but definitely not by the 25th.
Because of the lateness, I have decided to just focus on the wrap and will get back on the Geek-along afghan when I finish this. But here is the third I got done before that decision was made…
And my helper Lazlo coming to see what’s going on! He is hard to get pictures of – possibly he is in witness protection. Cameras come out and he makes himself scarce!
What are you knitting this Christmas Eve day?
Your shawl is beautiful!! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself:) I don’t do KALs anymore because the pressure (and some disappointment) got to me.

Thank you! You have a good point there – I may well avoid KALs going forward, at least for a little while, too. In addition to adding stress where there’s no reason to have stress, I let myself get distracted by them.

Lol I often try to be that free spirited person with projects like that, but I end up having to admit I’m a planner!🤣
