A Post in Search of a Title

I made a phone call to Creative Warehouse yesterday to get more information about the sweater designing contest. I didn't get much more than that: yes it is being sponsored by Berroco, and the deadline for submission is in May sometime. I was given a partial list of the yarns that could be used but I have to admit that none of them jumped out at me screaming that they absolutely wanted me to work with them. (Is it a sign that when I hear the name of a yarn I instantly get a picture of it in my head? A sign of what, I don't know.) I'll go pick up a contest rules sheet anyway. As I said, I have until May to figure something out.

I did start a new sweater over the last few days. And I am going to restart it! I screwed up in the gauge and when I held it up to Irina it would go around her, but it stretched tight. I was going for more of a boxy look, and it wasn't cutting it. Back to the drawing board I go!

Am I feeling guilty for not working on the ABC sweater? A little bit. But I know that I'll get back to it. I have just realized that I am not happy unless I have at least four big projects in the works. What I need to do is catch "finishitis" to go with my "startitis"!

Tomorrow will be a day of knitting, making stuffed shells, and FOOTBALL!!! No, my boys didn't make it this year (though Tom Brady looked mighty fine trying), but we will enjoy it anyway.
Except for Shania.
I can't stand Shania.
Boo to Shania.
