Now what to knit?

My very first scarf, quite simple, just patches of knit and pearl.

It was a gift for a friend.

This was my first project but the second one done. Once I started this huge dishcloth I got bored and discouraged. (No more metal needles for me!) Once I got the scarf done I had added courage and finished this cloth.

After that it was scarves all around for Christmas. Everyone in my family got their own special made scarf. It was a good way to practice new techniques and experiment. No good pictures of them though unfortunately. Most of them were finished on the drive home...

So, I have just completed my first "real" project! I have finished my version of dashing from Knitty! ( http://www.knitty.com/issuespring07/PATTdashing.html ) I am so excited. (I wanted to add some finished pictures but my camera hasn't been working... large sob.) These mitts were the main reason I started knitting in the first place. I have wanted a pair of these for a while now and when I found this pattern I went nuts with anticipation. Now that it is all over I just don't know what to do! I need a new project!

Dave has already changed his request for a toque to a sweater. I have been telling him that maybe I should try a couple other small projects first... but I don't even believe that myself. I just want to get working on Everything now!!


I am going to have to dash of a couple more dish clothes or something. I'm just itching to get going and I don't have enough yarn to do much with. I am in need of a good stash. I will have to make a visit to the yarn store tomorrow to quench the craving.


I also bought "Son of a Stitch'n Bitch" yesterday. This has given Dave more hope for that sweater, and me more drive to do it. Though I am now thinking that I should get one first... we'll see who wins this one.


I have been busy all day going over all Knitty's projects and picking out my future endeavors. I think a knitting deamon is born. I am never going to stop now! Needles, yarn... stat!!!
