Seriously. Someone stop me. I want to start so many new projects that I hardly know what to do with myself. I spent the weekend organizing and inventorying my stash (for more on this, including pics, visit the other blog to which I contribute, Tales from the River, the River Knits blog). Anyway, after all of this organizing and after handling every bit of yarn I own this weekend, I REALLY want to start something new.

But first, let’s talk about some things I’ve finished recently.

This is Lilly. Victoria made her for me at Build-a-Bear Workshop. When she came home, she didn’t have any clothes. Victoria said this was planned because I needed to knit her a sweater. I whipped it up in 2 days. The yarn is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport and the pattern is a basic EPS seamless yoke sweater with a lace pattern in the body and sleeves. I love Lilly.

These are the Granddaughter’s Socks (free pattern from Interweave Crochet’s website). I’m teaching a class on them in May at River Knits, and what fun! The cuff is crocheted, then the foot of the sock is picked up and knit down. Quite fun and very cute. These are for Victoria.

This is a shrug of my own design knit with Trekking Pro Natura. I bought a ball of this yarn and fell so in love with it that I decided it was too nice for socks. Enter two more balls, size 4 needles and a little math. Voila! A shrug. I wore it to The Fiber Event and received quite a few compliments. I promise to post a pic of me actually wearing the thing soon.

Lest Aaron feel left out, these are for him. The pic doesn’t really show, but the yarn is sparkly. It’s called Disco. He picked it out himself. He actually put them on this morning as soon as I finished them, but he took them off just a quickly because it’s rather warm here today.

So, as you can see, I’ve been such a good girl. I’ve finished 4 projects in the last couple of weeks! Don’t I deserve to start something new? Don’t I deserve to buy some more yarn? Yes, I believe I do! Now….what should I make?

What Kind of Knitter Are You?

You appear to be a Knitting Goddess. You are constantly giving and are unconcerned with reward, you simply want others to love knitting as much as you do. If someone wants to knit miles of novelty yarns, you are there for them. If someone wants to learn short row shaping, you can help. There are no taboos in knitting, only opportunities to grow. Everyone should have friend like you around if they want to learn to knit, and there’s a good chance that your passion has rubbed off on a few others.http://marniemaclean.com

I know this made the rounds a long time ago, but I didn’t have a blog then.   So, what kind of knitter are YOU?
