I recently got a new set of shelving for organizing my knitting.  As part of that organizing I’ve been going through tubs and baskets and piles of fiber, yarn and projects.  I’ve found several projects that are going to be frogged for various reasons . . . and several that I need to make decisions about.

One of the projects I need to make a decision about is Fern.  I started this sweater three years ago, put it down because I was too distracted to work on it and needed to work on a baby gift for someone and haven’t touched it since.

I actually have a little more than this done and was working on both the front and back at the same time . . . but I’m not sure now if this was really the right yarn for the project.  I’m not certain that I like the stitch definition with the colors of the yarn and feel that the pattern may be getting lost a bit.  Actually it looks better in the photo than it does in person (which I find odd) and I don’t know if I want to continue on it or frog it.

I’ve given myself until I’ve finished with the Must Have Cardigan)only the back left!)  to decide what to do with Fern.

The other knitting question I’m wrestling with is about my next project, St. Brigid.  I think I’m going to dye and spin the yarn for it and need choose a fiber from the stash.  I have several types to fiber to choose from and I’m not certain which I should use.  Perhaps the bed time reading the next few night will be Clara’s book of Wool . . . I’m sure the answer will be in there somewhere.
