Over the last few weeks, I’ve finished a number of projects: Two summer sweaters for me, a tank top for Victoria, a pair of socks for CIC, and these socks for me (my design, pattern coming soon! I talked about designing these last week).
All in the last two and a half weeks. Now, I don’t know what I want to work on.
It’s not that I don’t have projects on the needles right now. I do. Believe me. But none of them are particularly appealing right now. None of them are mindless and small…like socks. But I don’t feel like knitting socks. I love socks, just not in the mood for that right now.
I just spent some time modifying the Shaped Lace Tee pattern from Knitting Lingerie Style. I have it all charted and ready to go. I even have enough red Cascade Sierra to knit it. The lace pattern is simple enough to fall into the “mindless” category. But I don’t feel like it.
What’s a girl to do?
Maybe I need to do something completely different for a while. Then the knitting will come. Something will inevitably jump out at me and demand to be knitted. Right?

Well, it would have to be something lacy now wouldn’t it?

You know you want to CROCHET that Larger Than Life bag…I am crocheting up my own squares to do my own version of the bag…and then I was in RiverKnits and HAD to by the magazine, so now I am going to crochet ANOTHER one that’s bright and colorful, and actually use the pattern for the square.

I’m with you, Amanda. None of mine are appealing to me, either. I took a 10:00 therapy run to RK this morning for something new and completely different…got some Tofutsies and a pattern…then left the pattern at work….
