I have startitis so bad, my head is going to explode. In the 3 days, I’ve started 2 new projects. The most recent is a skirt for Victoria. It’s knitting up so fast, though, that it will probably be done before the weekend is out. I hope it turns out as nice as I think it will. I’m using Berroco Keltic in Thistle (or, as my lispy son says, “Fithle”). Anyway, the pattern for the skirt is easy peasy. If it works out, maybe I’ll post it here as a free pattern.
I also broke down and started the Lift and Separate from Big Girl Knits. I’ve had the yarn (Berroco Ultra Alpaca) for a couple of months at least. Waiting. Patiently. Finally, when the Big Girl Knits Yahoo! Group announced that this was their new knit along, I couldn’t resist! I had to start. It was just the push I needed.
The lace socks are coming along nicely. (Sorry! No pics of patterns I’m in the process of designing!) Considering I have no attention span for fingering weight socks, it’s going well. Both socks have heels and the gussets are complete. I just need to finish the feet. That’s kind of the boring part. Sigh.
I’ll post more tomorrow, with pics of current projects and….a very very old project that finally found it’s way out of the yarn closet.

Hurry up with the L&S sweater so that you can tell me how the pattern is
