A Knitting Affair

Clubbin’ it again.

1) I joined the Madelinetosh sweater club. I received my first shipment this week. A sweaters worth of Eyre yarn in the Fig colorway. Freakin luscious. I need to find the right pattern for this yarn that will show it off the best

2) The other club I joined is the Just Babs Knitting Club. The theme is women in history. I received the first shipment today. OMG is the color ever beautiful. But, I’m too lazy to take a picture of it!

I have to go on some training for work. I find it interesting that I’m not so stressed about the amount of work that I have to do before I go and after I get back. I’m stressed out about what knitting projects to take and how much knitting I will get done.

Its all about priorities.

November 1 already. Where is the time going? I know, a redundant question, but one I ask myself often. Time seems to be going faster and faster. Mom tells me its because I’m getting old. Thanks moms.

To continue on the “lets finish this” kick I’ve been on, I have completed a project and also started/completed a project. Hold on to your hats peeps. What is this world coming to. Is she “really” going to stop overcommitting on her knitting? NO, you silly bunnies, I just have more I want to cast on!

This sweater took me three days to knit and I have worn it twice since I finished it. It is comfortable and not too hot even though I used a bulky yarn. The 3/4 length sleeves are the key as I usually push my sleeves up when I am hot.

I am going to start this new thing with my knitting where I focus on one project each month. I can still knit anything I want but the “majority” of my knitting time (aka 75%) must be on this one project. The project can be the focus of multiple months if need be. Hopefully this will help me continue to finish projects that I have started while still feeding my need to cast on multiple projects whenever I desire.
