I'm still slogging away on the Color Kaleidoscope MKAL and believe it or not another Stephen West KAL starts next month. Was I tempted when I saw all the beautiful kits? I have to confess I was but then I picked this up again and remembered I'm only just finishing up Clue 2. You have to be a strict monogamous knitter to keep up with Stephen West and that's something I'm not.
That's not the only KAL that has me in a frenzy. Everyone seems to have one going on right now and I want to join them all. Arne and Carlos started their Christmas stocking KAL and I felt terrible that I wasn't knitting along. All year I said that I didn't need more stockings but did I go and order the yarn for this one? Of course I did. It won't be here to catch up but I have to finish the Doodle Cowl first which was my plan all along.
Ummm.....my goal was to have this ready for the tree lightning ceremony that's on the day after Thanksgiving and I think I'm going to make it. This thing is huge. I need to stop. I just might suffocate in it as it is.
I was notified that my Cozy Knitter Advent sock yarn is on the way so I had to rush to get those Hawthorne monstrosities finished. I think they are the biggest socks I've ever knit. They just kept growing so that I could make the stripes make sense. My travel socks are looking a bit better now. They started out pretty drab.
And finally, I've got mail. I was running out of that red chunky Brava for a hat I'm working on and when I went to order more Knit Picks had a big sale going on. Some Static jumped into my cart along with some cotton amigurumi mini balls that I'm going to use for needle punching. It's always a good day when yarn arrives and I'm expecting quite a bit at the moment.
