Sunday, as I was finishing up BW's Newborn Boots, I was being eyeballed by a cake of Cascade Eco Wool in my stash pile... also used as a decorative centerpiece in my living room.
I would glance at it and think, 'wow, i love knitting with you'
Then I would regroup and focus back on the booties.
I really need some mittens, I'm in the habit of giving them away when people admire them and suddenly realize their hands are cold.
Finish the booties...
I have the perfect mitten pattern to use that eco-wool with, they'll be lovely.
booties...
You get the drift. I hunkered down, I finished the booties and immediately launched into another project for BW, not the mittens.
That was a mistake...
Don't worry though, I'm still going to finish the next project for BW, just not as quickly as I wanted.
It's like I'm doing a purge... A need to knit something not only adult size but something for me. I've cracked out a lot of stuff for babies in the past year. A lot, and it's not over yet.
I have in progress:
a blanket for Bump
a monkey for BW
a cashmere tee for BW
in the wings I have:
an idea for a birthday sweater for Bump that will actually be a Christmas Sweater...
an Old Man Cardigan waiting to be knit for BW
Not to mention I got a wild notion the other day that I could feasibly knit the family Christmas presents this year... Reality hasn't knocked that notion back to the crazy pile yet either.
For certain Miss A. is going to get a Big Pink Pig designed by Purl SoHo and free on the Purl Bee Blog.
I digress...
Yesterday I couldn't hold out any longer.
I got home, let the dogs out, pull out some US 6 dpn's, snatched that yarn cake from the pile and cast on 36 stitches in record time...
By last night before I went to sleep I had made the first increase for the thumb gusset...
I can't wait to finish them and I am hoping for a cold snap by Sunday so I can wear them, or I'll just do what I always do when it's too warm for knitwear... Drive with my air conditioning at full blast.
