Decisions, Decisions

So, who wants to see a picture of a one armed Tilted Duster because the knitter is too lazy to put in the second sleeve which has been knitted for months? No one? Just as I thought.

How about the front of the big brown sweater that looks EXACTLY like the back? No? Me neither.

Ok, then pictures are out for this blog update.

The good news is that those projects are finishing up and we can move on. Here are the contenders for my next project:

Emma's Unmentionables from Knitty: www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring08/PATTemmas.html

A Re-useable Swiffer Cloth: http://birdysknits.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=24

Starsky Jr. Sweater from Knitty: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTstarskyjr.html

I already have yarn for Emma's Unmentionables and the swiffer cloth. So, obviously, that means I should start with the Starsky Jr. sweater because it would mean a trip to the yarn store....well at least the virtual yarn store since I can't seem to get to my LYS these days.

So, I hear you have to KNIT

to actually have something to say on a knitting blog. Huh. Who knew?

I, sadly, have not been doing much knitting because I have been doing all too much working. This makes me not happy. So, knitty.com was nice enough to publish their spring 2008 edition and for that I am very grateful. It means that between paragraphs, or while I wait for a writing idea to come into my head, I can visit knitty in addition to ravelry.

I can't wait to make Emma's Unmentionables for my soon-to-be 4 year old. I showed her the picture and she is all about pants that you can twirl in. So, now that I've decided on that. I'm off to ravelry to think about yarn...

And I promise, sometime, when I knit again, I may just have something interesting to post about!
