It's starting to worry me how much yarn I have. I know, I know. Me? Worry? About yarn quantity? AHAHAHAHHAHA!!! But I think the number of projects that I have lined up are starting to get a little out of hand. I'd like eat and have spending money when I get up to Davis though. In all honesty, it's not really that I've overspent on yarn, but that I have too many projects to do this summer.
As it stands, the project list:
1. Blanket for Yasuyuki: it's a monster. It's freaking huge. And I totally want to keep it. I made a deal with myself that I would work on it, but if I never finish it in time, I get to keep it. Lame I know. But I really shouldn't do that, just mail it to him because he's lonely out there. Damn. It's an amazing blanket though. Gahhh!!! I need to grow as a person. I can do this. Absolutely, I can do this. I have edited the pattern so that it looks like this:
2. Fair Isle Leg warmers. The pattern rests at http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTmanresa.html and in my humble opinion, it's brilliant. I'm in love with it. I made the first leg for my cousin's bat mitsvah gift, but I clearly missed that deadling, so I'm probably going to keep it or end up giving it to her for... something.
3. Cabled Leg Warmers. This pattern is at http://www.knitpicks.com/Cabled+Legwarmers_PD50542220.html. It's a very very frightening pattern. Well... not really. It's just that it goes for forever and you have to make two. It's worse than socks really. But I'm going to need them for college and such like.
4. All the other projects that I still haven't finished and/or don't plan on finishing, that are still sitting on my needles somewhere in my room.
Planned projects:
1. Slip stitch bag for college. I've made the swatch and I'm not sure if it's stiff enough. But if I went on any smaller needles, they'll be bent in weird weird ways, so maybe I could just compromise on that one.
2. 2 pairs of mittens. My hands get really cold and I don't think that I particularly enjoy being cold so I'm just going make 2 pairs from the yarn that I bought at the sale.
3. A scarf that I can hopefully knit in the round, because clearly, I'm delusional enough to think that I can stick through 60 inches of stockinette in the round. Clearly. But maybe, I'll change it a little with... ribbing? But that's weird. I should go back for another ball... Maybe a two sided scarf? Oh the possibilities!
4. A felted bag so I can still hold my books as I bike frantically to lecture so I can learn stuff. It'll be stripey'd and it'll be great fun. It's knit on giant needles so I can felt it later. <3
But looking back on it, I don't think it's possible for me to finish all this knitting by the time I leave. Even if I take some of it with me, I don't think that I can finish it. It's slightly horrifying actually, how much knitting I have planned. Then I realize that there is no hope for me, at all. I'm clearly addicted and the yarn has truly eated meh.
