So many projects...
I'm at the raglan shaping for my last Banff piece and I'm in the finishing groove. So I'm thinking of my next new project of course. I'm torn. I've been knitting for myself a lot lately and I would like to make some things for my family.
I want to make the kids each a spring sweater and Craig wants either a scarf (though we still can't find the right yarn) and a felted vest. But I also got this amazing pattern the other day and it's calling me. I even scored the perfect yarn in a private stash-reducing sale from a wonderful gal on one of the knitting lists.
It's Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in colour 122--Beach.
I also got this pattern too and have some lovely Rowanspun Aran to knit it up with. And, while at Curves I thought up a great felted bag design...
See the conundrum? Not to mention I've hit the crunch with the thesis--I NEED to devote more time to it so I can make my self-imposed deadline.
I found that pattern today too from Carolyn's weblog at girlreaction! I love it. Can't wait to make it. Currently I am almost done the back on Mrs CB's Camp Jacket from Bonnie Marie's site. I made some samll changes, but it is going well. Like this pattern, I chose it for the detail around the neck. Good luck - keep up posted.

Oh, geez. I used that Jo Sharp for my ribby cardie and I think it'll be PERFECT for Rogue. I can't wait to make it myself.....
Can't wait to see your Banff! (said out loud that sounds odd.) :)

...so little time. I know - I've been feeling that a lot lately. There are so many things I want to make! And now my Banff yarn has been delayed.:( I'm gettin' left in the dust by all you speedy Banff knitters!

Hi there -
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in History, and I've noticed that the number of great knitting projects that you just *have* to make are in direct proportion to the closeness of the dissertation deadline! I've self-imposed a deadline for myself on document summaries for my research, and voila, I have sixteen new projects I need to get started on RIGHT NOW! Funny how that works :-)

I was petting that Jo Sharp at the LYS today. It will be lovely.
