Unfinished Objects

2 obsessions, 1 person, how to cope with all the UFO's?? I think every person who knits and spins their own yarn has faced this dilemma at sometime with their newly acquired hobby. We struggle with this issue daily. I can only compare this to how parents of more than one child must deal with the question of "who do you like best"?? Having two other siblings I know the standard answers parents must give to their children but just like parents, knitters & spinners will have one project that they will just favor for some reason but equally love all their projects just the same. Until a certain knitting/spinning project let's someone else drive their car one day and then wreck it, well....that's a different story.

Currently I just finished up the Mauch Chunky Juju Fruit 4 oz. bag of fiber. I still have to ply it into a 2 ply but that won't take to long to do. This will be the 3rd skien of yarn from this wool, the second skien produced about 200 yards of sport/DK weight yarn.
The Juju yarn is currently being used in a Basic Tam (a tam is the same as a Beret) pattern from an Interweave magazine that Carey left at my house. I'm combing the two yarns that I produced (100 yds done on the spindle at a chunky weight and the sport weight from the wheel) from this wool. I used the chunky weight to do the 2x2 rib and then switched to the sport weight when I started the increases on the body of the hat.

Also I have on needles is the Prettybird Neckwarmer in the Dream in Color yarn. It's starting off slow due to I tend to be slower working on straight needles. Granted these needles are smaller in length but I still tend to slow down on the straights for some reason.
Over on the wheel I've started spinning the grey/green/purple shetland wool that I dyed a couple of weekends ago. It's not quite what you would call a pencil style roving but is rather close to it enough that I'm not doing any pre-drafting at all. I've also kept the wool wound up in the ball and just started spinning from it. Unwinding enough for me to use each time I starting working on it. I'm really enjoying spinning this wool up and I plan to najavo ply it so that I can keep the color together. This wool is quickly becoming my favorite since I really want to learn who to najavo ply. On one of the many spindles that I have it has about half of a 1.5 oz. silk hankie spun up on it. I still have no clue what to do with it, either leave it as a single or use it with something else as a 2 ply.
Or since my two sisters are crocheting now, maybe one of them would like it to make something out of it to give to a little sister perhaps, just a thought.
