in which I give up my self-scolding and knit a freaking hat.
Aside from my sense of relative boredom with all the sweater stockinette that drove me to start a new project, there’s one other factor. Getting something done! Sure, I can knit and knit and knit and end up with a few rows on my sweater, or I can spend the same amount of time and get 1/3 of the way through a hat [rav link]!
it's just as soft as it looks!
I can't decide if I want to touch it, wear it, or eat it!
The rows zip by, only 96 sts per row, and there’s all the fun of stranding and color changes and pattern emerging. After the snowflake, just several rows of round and round, then the shaping. FUN fun fun. I agree Jocelyn – having projects to swap back and forth keeps me knitting! No more of this scolding myself.
Anyway, this is all but pleasure and fun and enjoyment! If I need something to scold myself over, it could be the 30th pound of pickles. Or something.

Wow, that does look super soft!

I am a reasonably monogamous knitter. I say “reasonably” since I’m rarely rocking more than two WIPs at a time… uh if you don’t count the almost finished afghan on the bench at the front door. Sometimes you need to take a breather from a larger project and knit something just to finish it. That project for me this week is bed socks… almost done with second sock, than I’ll finish the bigger bugger.
