New WIP

I started a new WIP this weekend. I don't know why...I have seen other people's blogs and Rav pages with five or six WIP's and I think...Why? But now I have become one of those people. I am understanding the reason why people have multiple WIP's. I got bored with the sweater pattern I was making for DD and started to thumb through my library book. I have found that some of the patterns on my queue I have been able to acquire from the library. Who knew? I recently checked out Teva Durham's Loop-D-Loop and so I started a sweater for DS who is very smallish so I thought I could finish it this weekend. I realize yet again that I am very fond of instant gratification and so since the pattern was only for a one size fits most men or boyfriend sloppy on the girl size...I have had to size down the pattern and make notes so that the sleeves are the same. Not instant gratification. The pattern is irregular rib raglan with toggle and it is a cute sweater which will look adorable on my DS however resizing it has been challenging as I am very linear and need too many instructions. The sweater in itself is simple, the problem I am having is with the sleeves...and the fact that I will shortly run out of yarn so I may have to frog a bag I made earlier to finish it in dye lot. Somehow the sleeves don't transfer sizes in my mind. Oh, well, the book is full of strange looking hairstyles and some very severe looking models but the patterns are interesting. Though I like many of the patterns I think I am put off by the weird hair and "deer in the headlights" facial expressions so that I don't want to make them. I would probably only consider four of the patterns to make. The others are not my style or just plain ugly. As for my WIP, I am about 70% finished with only the sleeves, collar, and construction left. I hope it looks as cute on DS as I envisioned.
