On The Needles September 2011

Sitting here trying to fight the urge to CO - cast-on a new project. Hmmm...maybe if I refresh my mind on what I have On-The-Needles - (otns) I can squish the urge of "new project"

Knitting bag: Let's see....a mobius shawlette in Mary Maxim Stepping Out Sock yarn. Dark rainbow self-striping yarn. A scarf in Red Heart Boutique Sashay in Jive (teal colorway). And newest addition, a test knit/Christmas present sweater for Nolan. The sweater is the must-git-'er-done project. Deadline September 20th as it is a pattern I get to test knit for the designer on www.ravelry.com.

Basket: (next to the couch) it's a small basket! Honest. Heather Hoodie vest for Courtney...that is another gotta get it done. What else do I have here? Another sweater for Nolan. A wrap/poncho type thingy...(not happy with this project - it's going to the frog pond..basket where I put those projects that are ripped out so I can reuse the yarn).

Tote: a few projects for the holidays...these can wait.

Well, that's that I guess. But the 3 new skeins of sock yarn...oops...5 new skeins of sock yarn are calling to me and wanting to be made into lacy type socks with yarn overs, knit two together etc.

Hmmm...it actually is helping! Quick write the date down..this is historical for me. Call the newspapers, the local news...this is epic!

On September 1, 2011 I, The Knitting Apprentice, Fought the urge to cast on a new project as I have at least 3 projects that must, I repeat must get done by Sept. 20th!

Wow...now where is that sweater for Nolan?
