Flitting Like a Butterfly

 Throughout the day, I flit from one project to another interspersing time doing chores to keep the house running smoothly and neatly.  I finished one pair of socks from leftover fingering weight yarn for oldest grandson.
 I have been studying an online course for designing shawls and took my final-designing my own pattern.  Now to knit it!
 I cut out a pile of neutral squares and triangles for another table runner.
 I spun another bobbin of the Shetland fiber.
 Three four ounce skeins awaiting a knitter........I will be using one of these skeins for the new shawl!
 I whipped up another batch of soap-this one is a special request for Bill who wanted one scented with patchouli.  We will see how 'smelly' it is when finished in a few days!
And another pair of socks are off the needles.......

While it seems that I flit from one project to another, I flit all the way to the finish line and that means I do have a method to my meanderings!

    Cool!! You are designing your own shawl pattern for the Shetland yarn. Oh, I cannot wait to see it.

    It's not often Dad makes a crafting request -- fun to oblige when he does!

    Beautiful projects, all. You are the most amazing doer/finisher that I know! I aspire to reach your level of accomplishment someday...something to look forward to! <3

    However you do it, the system certainly works for you!

    Don't you just love planning a lace pattern on graph paper?
    Patchouli is one of my favorite smells, too, but it is a manly scent.
