valancystirlingI have a happy balance of knitting projects on the needles just now. One is a baby dress (from Simple Knits for Cherished Babies) knit on size 2 needles with very fine cotton yarn. It will be absolutely adorable and just the desire to see its finished cuteness is keeping me going, though it's tedious. Still, I'm making good progress on it just doing a couple rows here and there. To counter this, I also am moving right along on Jake's mom's Ab Fab throw. It really is a good balance.
I have made a conscious effort to come up with things we can buy for Christmas presents this year so my tired hands might relax on those projects of my own choosing, at my leisure. I have the wine bottle cozies for Jake's sister. Neck warmer for Jake. A secret project for someone who reads this. And that's about it. I want to reserve my knitting energy for whatever baby projects I discover I need to do. Like wool pants. I never made any wool pants, so I'm going to try out this free pattern before spending money on the LTK pattern (I'll probably buy it anyway, though).
Overall, I'm not feeling very overwhelmed. I feel like everything is moving along smoothly, knitting is just a nice useful pastime, and everything is in perspective. It's a good place to be, though I have very little experience with the feeling.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I got that free fuzzy yarn everyone ordered a few weeks ago. It's like a tribble on acid. I can't think what in the world I would actually do with it, so maybe I will set it on the desk and call it Psychadelic Tribble. It's really horrifying and scary. I only ordered it because, like, free yarn?
If anyone wants to get me any baby presents for cheap, I could use some cute 100% cotton baby socks in various bright colors (no pink if it can be avoided).
La la la.
