And Now The Pictures

Here's my progress on Misty Garden. My first lace and my first mohair. I am loving the challenge, and am so anxious to knit more of this scarf. I'm using Skacel Fuego that I picked up at Hearthstone Knits not too long ago. Funny how I thought I would never become a knitter who bought the yarn before the pattern...


I haven't decided if I will keep this one or not. I really should start planning more Christmas gifts, since it's already August, and I am a freakishly slow knitter.

And here is the hobo tote, so close to being done, and yet not really keeping my attention. It is definitely my "mindless knitting." I guess I need to discipline myself into more "mindless finishing."


My goal over the next week is to finally blog my Project List, making it official. I keep hoping that maybe if I set it up like a "Things to Do List," I will be more apt to stick to it, and honestly knit up all this yarn I have. (This is probably me being very dreamy and optimistic!) I know I don't need to look for any new patterns any time soon. But for some reason I simply can't get enough. Ironically, instead of knitting all the time, I find myself searching the internet, browsing my books, and blogging about what I can't wait to do. I am truly an insane knitting addict!

I find having a "knitting queue" very helpful in planning projects and actually completing them. Somehow making projects public and using a progress bar to track completion makes me get to work on them more effectively...

Hey Girl! I wondered what happened to you... Now I know - you turned into a knitblogger. You now have another subscriber on Bloglines, and one of these days I'll get you added to my sidebar. It was good to hear from you again!

(oh yeah, I agree that having a list keeps me organized, even though it's not public.)
