03/07/07: Lots in Progress as Usual

So am still knittin' that purple merino scarf. It is taking a right long time since I keep on napping on the train these days. It will most likely be for next winter along with the hat and scarf plans, even if it did snow today I just don't see winter lasting quite long enough to wear this this year. I will try and keep working on it though even if it does get warm out. I am trying my darndest to be a more committed knitter.

And in that committed to current projects already underway spirit I bring you the started candy stripe socks.



Welp I am to the heel of the first sock, but I am thinking it needs a white heel and toe, so this of course means I will need to spin more yarn first before I can knit that part. Which is sad cause it is so fun to knit and I am loving the result and I don't want to stop working on it. So yeah now I really should be spinning boring white fluff instead of starting up with the latest Spunky Fiber club fluff that I got in the mail recently, but of course I am not. I think I am going for the world record of most projects started, least completed ever!

I should mention also that I am also really trying to weave in ends on the capecho but seriously I never weave in ends so it is really annoying that these particular ends will really show if I don't do it, not to mention that there are a billion of them. Making an almost complete project really slow to finish. Anywho here is a shot of the capecho blocking. Goofy looking isn't it?



And I am wondering how all of this project starting is coming along when I was out all weekend and again last night eating up a storm! I gotta start up some working out ASAP, spinning yarn counts as cardio doesn't it? If I spin it really fast?? Yeah I know I need help.
