I've been busy.
This past week was a milestone. I officially had three works-in-progress going on my needles. That has never happened before. I am one of those ADHD-afflicted knitters. If I let myself get seduced by something new, I will completely forget my name in my quest for adventure. It's pathetic.
So, I usually keep my nose to the grind and crack the whip when I start to feel the wanderlust creep up on me.
But this past week, I threw all my rules out the window.
First, there were Kenny's (never-ending) socks. Fingering weight yarn, I hate you.
Then this is this improvised tunic I'm knitting out of my stash of Lamb's Pride Worsted. I was intending to make something entirely different with it, but the wool is really scratchy, so I had to change tactics and knit something I could wear over a base layer. It is heavily influenced by Cecily's Idlewood, but as I didn't have the right weight of yarn for her pattern, I decided to wing it instead. I'll keep you apprised of my progress.
And then, there was mystery birthday knitting. T, don't look:
It was delicious. Now, it's in the mail. And my fingers are itching to start something new.
NO! Evil thoughts BAD! Must finish endless sock knitting.
