Intermission

I may have to *gasp* take a break from knitting. Or get a hand masseuse. But I really want to finish the eleventy billion projects I have around the room. Honest!

OH once suggested that I need another hobby. After my incredulous look, he hastened to clarify that I needed another hobby that wasn't knitting related. Doesn't that constitute heresy or something? Of course, then I turned him into my human swift for a while and he didn't mention it again.

What all do I have on the needles today, you ask? Well, I'm so glad you did ask. I have:

  1. A hat for Pop (probably for xmas) over halfway finished.
  2. Wristwarmers/cuffs for a cousin of mine (barely started).
  3. Tank top (buddy knit with Ames) small amount finished so far.
  4. A swatch/tapestry that I'm designing (roughly a quarter finished).
  5. A shawl (Luna Moth Shawl) that is over halfway completed.
  6. Another shawl (Kiri) that's been hibernating for a while now.
  7. A scarf (Candle Flame Scarf) that's hiding out in one of the knitting bags.
  8. A blanket/throw for an uncle. He's been patiently waiting for this thing for over 2 years.
  9. Two! baby blankets that need sewn together.
And that's just off the top of my head. That also doesn't count all the things I want to make. I think I'll save that list for another post.

I'm going to go eat more chocolate now, I think.

The good thing about the way I knit is I get my moneys worth out of my yarn.Its taken me a week to make it through one skien.I must be getting better because it takes like 45 minutes for my tongue to get sore when I knit now.after learning to purl I think my next challenge will will be teaching Spud how to me my swift.
It wish you an The Chick luck tomorrow but..........well.....I do enjoy y'alls adventures.
