Still here...
Hey everyone,
yes, I'm still here, just quiet. Unfortunately not because I'm having too much fun. I feel like such a fool. Some things really are too good to be true.
So there you have it, the knitting world has me back. And I guess it's time to fess up what's on the needles. The sidebar with all the WIPs was way too short- I've been camouflaging my cast-on addiction. It's pathetic. That's when you know you're addicted- you're hiding new projects from others!
I secretly cast on for another Wavy in Noro Silk Garden. Those three balls in amazing fall colors(colorway 230) that I got on sale were just calling me...
Alright, I'm going to post a true account of what's on my needles, go and check out the sidebar (in case you're reading this in Bloglines...) Oh NO! I've just counted- EIGHT WIPs. How many do you have?
I'm pretty pleased with the name for those reddish Meilenweit Mega Boots Stretch socks that I've started as a mindless stockinette project when I first started *mumble* falling in love. "The Thrill Is Gone Socks". Great song.
In other news, I'm such a loser knitalonger- both the Trek-Along as well as the Bitchin' Mittens just ended and I haven't finished either of my projects. At least I've been working on the Pretty 'Spring' (haha) Petals socks, so I can at least finish those for the Sock-A-Month KAL.
One item I've continuously been working on this month was the cabled sweater for Johanna. I'm in love with that yarn, it's wonderfully soft and those colors are just beautiful. I've picked up the stitches for the hood a little too tightly, so I'm going to have to frog back. I could've just done a crew neck, but Johanna insists on the hood:-D

Wavy is definitely on my one-of-these-days list. I'm curious, have you tried Silk Garden Lite?

I'm really sorry it didn't work out :o(
All your WIP's look amazing! Love the handspun sweater!

It's okay. We always have our yarn to comfort us, right?
The wavy is lovely. I wouldn't have thought to use a striping yarn with that pattern but it is really striking.
That handspun hand-dyed ribbed sweater is gorgeous too. I swear, it makes me think of creamsicles. Yum!

Don't feel like a fool. I think it's always better to live every moment intensely, even if it ends in heartbreak.
The trek socks are looking beautiful!

I love the colors you have been working with. Seems like you have an autumn theme. Those little sweaters are so pretty. :)
