I am really loving the alliteration right now 🙂
I’ve got two projects on the go right now – the Just Beachy shawl and the Flombre mittens. I’d like to finish one or the other of them by the year end, and it certainly won’t be the shawl. So I’ve set that aside for the moment and just focusing on the mittens. I got the first one done yesterday…
And a little less than halfway done on the second one today! This is a totally self-imposed deadline, but it seems to mean a lot to me for some reason. It does feel good to be getting stuff done 🙂
Do you ever set random deadlines for yourself and then push to meet them?

These are so pretty. They remind me of pansies or violets that my grandmother grew, even though the petals are slightly different…that’s what keeps coming to mind. I set random deadlines all the time and then get total distracted 🤦♀️

They do look a lot like pansies! Glad I am not the only one with the random deadlines 🙂

Alliteration adjusts the attitude. (Not so great with vowels.) Yes, random deadlines can be satisfying.

LOL! They can! But also kind of frustrating.

The mitten looks great! I do self-imposed deadlines, too… honestly, most of my knitting deadlines are self-imposed. But still, sometimes I work better to a deadline no matter where it came from, so it makes perfect sense to me that we create them for ourselves. I hope you enjoy finishing up mitten #2!

Thank you! That is true – if there’s no deadline, some of the drive is definitely missing.

I think that is why I have set a deadline for myself to FINALLY finish my Geek-A-Long blanket in 2023. I’ve been so close for so long, but there’s no pressure so I keep putting it off.

True! I have a big afghan project like that too – there’s no deadlines, so no push to finish. I probably need to put that on my 2023 list too!

Yeah, the lack of deadlines has really enabled me to slack on this blanket. I’ve been working on it (off and on… mostly off) since January 2016, so it’s time and then some to finish it!

Of course I set random deadlines for myself. If I didn’t, I would never finish anything. Your mitten is gorgeous!
