if only all problems were this small. 
Well, knitting friends, I’ve gone back and forth, like this:
I’m pretty sick of stockinette and want to start a new project.
Don’t do that- you’ll never finish these sweaters!
But I really want to cast-on with the Cascade Eco Duo.
If you just focus and spend your time with the sweaters, they’ll be done and you know you are going to love them.
I know, but….
Forget it. Just stick with your sweaters. Stick with it.
Yeah. Just when I think I’ve decided something, the other voice starts making a lot of sense. So there I sat with the last point, sticking with my sweaters.
And then I decided, screw it. I’m casting on. Laura mentioned a hat with snowflakes, and I think that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll knit the background with the luscious hazelnut Cascade Eco Duo, and the snowflakes with the vanilla Eco Duo. As Laura said, the snowflakes should really pop against that beautiful brown.
And then, if I have enough yarn left, I think I’ll knit these mitts – I’ll use the vanilla as the background, since I’ll have much more of it left, and the owls with the brown, assuming I have some left.
Also, one kind of embarrassing confession: when the current batch of his homemade pickles is gone, we (which really means I) will have eaten 30 pounds of pickles this summer. Yikes. When you put it that way, I am a piggie!

30 pounds of pickles??? Really!!!
Really love that brown yarn…and the owl mittens are too cute…

At least pickles are low in calories! I like to refer to them as a healthy snack, even though eating the entire jar probably isn’t healthy.
Oh can’t wait to see that hat! That sounds perfect for that yarn! Ummm..I bought some more yarn today….yeah with Larry…

There are worse things than pickles to pig out on
. And i must admit that i probably would’ve told you to go ahead and cast on, so I’m really glad that you did so I’m not to blame for it! I’m all about multiple projects on the go at once. I have this Theory that it keeps me inspired. And mostly my Theory is well-enough supported by the evidence to almost be considered a Hypothesis, so go for it.
Thanks for linking to that snowflake hat pattern. I really like it. I have leftovers of three colors of Miski llama. Soft as a snowflake. It’s in my Ravelry queue, along with about a 80 other items…but still, I might start it up soon.
