To protect against either boredom or frustration, I have found out that 3 is the ideal number of works-in-progress (WIPs) for me.
At the moment, I have 2 WIPs, having just finished the Mini Bolero the other day. Today, I am about to finish another WIP, the Silky Cashmere Bolero, which has been on my work table for nearly 4 weeks now.
Silky Cashmere Bolero - nearly done!
Silk-Cashmere yarn is beautiful but can be difficult to work with. It is soft and drapes a lot, and at fine fingering weight, it is quite a challenge to shape. I still work with a paper pattern with no pins to hold the crochet fabric or motifs in place as I join them. I would like to get used to this way of working where everything moves and I can quickly change sides and views, and yet must also be able to bring everything back together or in their previous places to continue working.
The Silky Cashmere Bolero nearly done, here I have about 10 grams of yarn left. The bolero will use up all two skeins of yarn, that’s about 100 grams.
10 grams left!
The other WIP on the table is this dragon amigurumi which is taking shape slowly as I work on it. I call this “My Chungli Dragon” as this is inspired by a dragon decoration I saw in Chung Li in Taiwan.
My Chungli Dragon.
I am sometimes tempted to work on this quickly, that is, not using all 3 segments that I originally intended to use, thus coming up with a rather tubby dragon. The other night I focused and stuck to the original plan.
It’s easy to be tempted by the easy way out!
I love they way “My Chungli Dragon” is coming along and hopefully by the end of this month, he’ll be off to my 10-year old nephew, Alwin. Now I can imagine Alwin’s younger brother Aldric getting into a fight for this dragon. I had to make this dragon because Alwin got into a fight with Aldric after I sent Aldric those crochet finger puppets, and Aldric wouldn’t share! Well I guess Alwin would share this dragon since he’s older … Or would he? Hmmm … 
So yes, now I am looking for WIP #3, and it might be that free-form with Olga project or could be something totally new. Here’s what’s been in my mind for several months now.
My next WIP could be a bra...
I would like to recycle this old bra. I have a couple of old bras and I don’t want to throw them away (yet!) as I’ve been looking for some way to re-use them. I am thinking of using these or might just crochet a new one.
Together with the bra are some French knickers that I’ve been really wanting to start working on soon. Time to use the lace yarns. Today, morning temperature went up to 30 degrees C! 
And in case anybody was curious as to who have been messing up with the camels, well here they are:
CD and Earl Gray.
