There Something in the Air

Yet another new start.

Completely spur of the moment without my usual "justify what you are starting" conversation with myself. First I saw this pattern, then I got my hands on some Dream in Color Smooshy in the Deep Seaflower colorway(which is REALLY difficult to photograph), and before I knew it I found myself here:


A few things about this "new-start-itis" thing concern me.
1. What's with all the out of character impulse starting? I honestly believe there is something in the air.
2. What's with the crazy desire I have right now to cast on about 5 more pairs of socks? I was burnt out on socks for a while but apparently I have gotten past it.
3. Will I be able to rein these new impulses in and actually finish some stuff?

The new-start-itis bug has not been limited to my knitting either. I am fighting major impulses to start more than one cross stitch piece AND for the first time since college I am reading more than one book at a time(I usually like to savor one book before I start another).

Like I said, there is something in the air.

Seriously. There IS something in the air. I started three projects in one night last week?! What's up with that? Now, I know that it isn't that unusual for me to start new stuff, but all in one night? Weird.

The startitis bug is making the rounds. I also started a new book and a new diet. I thought about cleaning the house but said ok I have to draw the line somewhere and decided cleaning the house was just out of the question! LOL! The color of that sock is to die for. I can't wait to see it.

Whoa, that sock looks great. You are on a roll. I've been a little trollop with the casting on too. And I am usually able to resist a bit more. Hmm!

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
