For Once My Theory Worked!

A while ago I had this theory that if I started AND finished a new knitting project it would inspire me to finish the approximately five unfinished projects currently collecting dust somewhere in my flat/apartment. And I was right! It worked. I made a scarf. Really, all I make is scarves. They're soooo easy, I wear scarves, and since it's already winter for all intents and purposes, they're handy. So I made this one:

This one in particular was super easy. The yarn was huge, the needles huge and the stitches simple. This lead to a really huge scarf that I may never wear, but hey! It's finished at least.

After that one, with my confidence at an all time high, I decided to finish the one project I started last fall and then abandoned when we moved in January. It is a twisted cowl. Well, truth be told, I screwed it up early on and added an extra twist. But I was determined to finish it and I finally did. So my theory was a success. Here it is:

Now that I have made one new scarf and finished an incomplete one, I decided why not try and make three more. So I am. Seriously, I am going for three more scarves. Shall I take bets as to when I will give up and leave all three sitting in a pile on the floor? Dave, you say two weeks from now? Anyone want to take the under? Here are the three I am working on, or at least thinking about making:

An ascot. It's so cute, and I am going with a gray and green color scheme. It sounds sort of weird, who knows, maybe it will be and I'll never wear it either. This one is currently in production with an expected completion date of November 20th November 30th.

A lace one. I started this one but the yarn I chose wasn't showing off the pattern very well so I bought some thinner stuff and I am going to start again. Expected start date November 22nd (I'll take two days off to let my fingers rest). December 5th. I think. Maybe not.

And with the unusable yarn from the project above I am going to make a sort of twisted-quasi-lace scarf. Anticipated completion date of March 2013. This is the one that I will probably put down and never pick up again. Come November 2012, I'll be blogging about a revolutionary theory regarding knitting something new BEFORE finishing an old project. I'll consider myself so smart.
