Startitis...

It's going around.
I see it all thru the blogoverse
as well as my living room.
I've been tyring to curb it and not let it show.
Knitting things in secret so I don't get the question....

"what are you knitting now? did you finish what you were working on?"

I tend to get nasty in my answer when I feel like I've been caught doing something wrong.

It's not wrong to start multiple projects at a time
but it would be easier to curb startitis if there weren't so many delicious fibers out there to play with, birthdays to celebrate, babies needs to be met.

Two things could help me with my startitis
1. More time in my day.
2. I need to become a faster knitter.

Plus...
it would be nice if during my stash-busting challenge if the yarn companies would stop sending me catalogs full of beautiful new yarns for spring...

Just saying.

Happy Monday

p.s.
I got on the elevator at work today and stood in it for a full minute before I realized it wasn't going anywhere...apparently it does help to push the button for the floor you want.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
