Do you often make deals with yourself whilst working through your projects?
I do!
This weekend I had an incredible itch to cast on something new but made some deals with myself as to when it will happen :)
So let me explain my deals to you:
![avalanche](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV3xIw7CY3QciNfh8IVWQ27UxGesq4yvuFUuPDdHdte22qOHfiQUjvwEUn8aMqzWmnIkV5AqjRhtDTLHRY_4043Feonkni-4FfmoIN2KheuxOdcOjVbB05RpL1hv-tb909PvU9LwmkpAE/s640/20160309_153912.jpg)
Here is my Avalanche.
I have actually made quite a bit of progress on this project and have managed to finish off the hem over the weekend. I have also picked up the neckband and am steadily knitting on that :)
My deal with this project is - I have to have finished the neckband and have picked up the sleeves before I can think of another project. (Sounds reasonable :))

My Owlie Socks:
They are growing too. Maybe not as fast as I would have liked this week, but I haven't had very much knitting time so far, so I am quite happy with the progress.
I have just finished the second pattern repeat of owls.
My deal with this project is: I need to have turned the heel before I can think of another project (also, doable! I only have one more pattern repeat and can work on my heel)
So those are my active WIPs for this week.
And now the next dilemma - What do I cast on when I have completed my projects as far as they need to go?
I have three gorgeous projects that I am dying to cast on, and gorgeous yarn to work them up in - what should I do?
I am really hoping you all can help me decide!
I have 3 shawls to choose from right now:

Will you help me?
Which would you start if you were me?
Talking of gorgeous yarns - I have started a thread on the Ravelry Group to drool over beautiful yarns.
Have you got some to share?
Reading Wise: I received my copy of One Hundred Years of Solitude in the mail today and I am hoping to get some reading time in tonight as I have wanted to read this book for the longest time!
I will be sharing this post with all of my lovely creative friends so do drop by there for some weekly inspiration :)
P.S. Don't forget to come and share your FOs with me on Friday, I can't wait to see what you have managed to finish this week.
See you soon

I would choose Antipodes - those points are just too gorgeous to resist!
ReplyDeleteHie Carrie,
DeleteThanks for your help :) Yes, the shawl is absolutely beautiful!
With the help of my friend Fides, I have decided to make a minikal on Instagram and will be knitting the Mindful shawl.
If you are wanting to knit along feel free to join us there. Just use the Hashtag #mindfulkal
Thanks for your visit.

oo tricky, three lovely patterns there. I think I'm most drawn to Mindful but they all look fun to knit
