O is for...

On the Needles (OTN)!

Clapotis - 11 drops now!

What a cop-out letter, but I couldn't do O is for Odessa again - been there done that! :) Also a nice follow-up for N is for Needles. Hehehe... such a dork.

As for OTN and what it means to me...

Well, I am a cast-on-aholic, so I typically have several projects OTN at a given time. Not counting the ones hibernating either. I don't even want to count those yet!! *embarassed blush* I try to aim for 3-4 projects going at a time, so that my knitting ADD has an outlet. If my hands are tired from finer yarn, I'll alternate a project with a heavier yarn. Or when I have an interminably long lace pattern, I have a quick-n-easy project going for some instant gratification. Something to mix it up with. Keeps me from getting so tired or bored with a project that I stop knitting altogether for a spell - just rotate to another project instead! You know how it goes!

This post also gives me an excuse to post an updated picture of Clapotis. I'm just about through the first skein now - 11 drops!

Oh, I love your Clapotis and the fact that someone besides me has lots of OTN waiting their turn :)
