I’ve talked about changing what I work on depending on the weather, but I find I also need to work on different projects depending on the time of day.
At the beginning of the year, I was determined to focus on the large embroidery project WiP I have. And I am making progress. It is, however, a project that requires concentration and good light. I am still making it a point to work on something creative every day, but the time I find to work is not always the same. When I can’t sit down until evening, the embroidery is just not the right project.
I’ve started the hospice afghan to have a night-time project. Since I need to use the yarn provided by the hospice program, I have multiple colors to incorporate into the design. I’m using the 3-color moss stitch I first saw on Simple Hooked. I like its tweedy look, and really like the added benefit of not having ends to weave in since the yarn gets carried up the side. Since this is a fairly dense stitch, I also went up to K/10.5 hook which still seems to hold the look without making it so stiff since the yarn I have to use is…let’s say not of the high-end variety.
This solves one of the mysteries of why I need to have multiple projects going at the same time. Now I just need to work on finishing one of them.

Love the afghan in progress
I’m enjoying it too, although it looks more like a scarf than an afghan right now.
I really like this colourway – so pleased you are enjoying the stitch too.
The stitch is so relaxing. I actually got 5 different colors of yarn from the program, but I liked these together the best.
Looks great! I love the colors too!
Thanks! I’m saving the other colors for the border.
I find I have to change projects several times a day according to light levels and my ability to concentrate. Glad its not just me!
You are definitely not alone I thought it might be just me!
I do this time-of-day crafting, too! I have to dress the loom when I’m focused and alert or I make horrible mistakes. In the evening, when I want to sit and have a drink and relax, I work on my silly fabric yoyos–mindless!
Having a drink at night does weigh into my crafting choices too. I found making yo yos very relaxing.
I tend to work on things in the evening that don’t require a lot of concentration, especially if we are watching TV or a movie.
TV or a movie does need something more mindless, although once in a while I notice I missed an entire program that was on because I was paying more attention to my yarn.
