Have I become a polygamist knitter?
What did the knitting Olympics do to me? I’m usually a monogamous knitter (if one doesn’t count all the sleeping laceprojects in my drawer) and I like it that way. But now I want to cast on at least two shawls, a vest, a scarf, a hat and a pair of socks all at once. I have even picked out yarn for all these projects.
I do get bored easily and that might be the reason for my monogamous knitting, I pick a project I know I can finish quickly and then start a new one. Maybe I’m now shifting towards projects that take longer time and thus bringing in the getting bored possibility, so I will have to have more than one project to switch between?
Well, before I do any of those knitting projects I will have to get back on track with the rest of my life. Some aspects of it might have been slightly neglected the last week or so.
So do I wait and see if these polygamist tendencies are just a post Olympic high or have I really changed? She says with two sets of needles and two hanks of yarn waiting by her side. Who am I kidding? See you later, I have some casting on to do.

I have no boundaries for being a knitter of several projects! I cast on, I finish some of them fast, I finish some after a looong wait in my basket… so what. I enjoyed all the projects- at the right times. For me ..
