KnottyMinds: New Job = Lots o' Yarn = Confusion

I have been a busy knitter. No time for pictures today. I have buttons to sew, necklines to pick up...and new projects tempting me at every turn.

I guess tempting isn't the right word. Tempting makes it sound as though I have just been thinking about these new, lusty garments when, in actuality, I have cast on (and made progress) for two new projects. As it turns out; I am a "process knitter". In case you are unfamiliar, this is kind terminology for "impatient and greedy about all things knitting". I would try to change, but it is just so much damn fun to play with the new while neglecting the old. The new LYS job isn't helping with my lack of focus. My focus actually blurs noticeably every time I set foot in the "workplace". I love it.

Most recently I have "finished" Rowan's Empire, knit from fuchsia Cashsoft dk. A beautiful, though slightly Judaic, cable pattern covers the entirety of the sweater. I knit to gauge and found it blocking out much bigger than anticipated. For a girl who always knits garments a size too small, this is a happy moment. For the rest of the world, beware. I did not complete the beading portion of the sweater, because I don't bead my knits. Some craft forms are too gruesome even for my tastes. Beaded knitting heads that list. I will make exception for the occasional (still!) single wrist-warmer.

I have also (mostly) finished Stefanie's Bulky Mini-Cardi. Fun and quick, and knit on VERY BIG WOOL. In fact, Rowan Big Wool. See...I try new things.

Like I always say, and sometimes truly mean...pictures are coming soon. Very soon. I just need to have some words with the photographer about staying on task and really seeing a job through. Some people just are so unprofessional. Really.
