I'm sitting here drinking my second cup of coffee for the day and relaxing after an intense stash dive along with pattern pairing. I didn't know you could get tired from doing these things, but apparently you can. I have been going through my stash to find what yarn I have so that I can bring knitting for the trip, so I don't go insane. And I'm allowing myself to bring new projects because most of the ones I have right now are just too big to bring. But for some reason I am resisting casting on anything new, no I don't have startitis (yes it's a real thing, and only knitters are susceptible to my knowledge), and I don't have finishitis really. I think I am just used to working on one or two projects at a time starting a new one let alone up to 4 new ones just for this trip makes me a little... well... nuts. I know I know 4 projects just for a 10 day trip, well hear me out. I am brining a new design with me and that one I need something that will help me when that one isn't going the way I want it to. I have a mindless one for those moments when you need them (like when you are waiting or what not), I have one that's mindless but with some fun colors, one with interesting construction and a color that needs to be used, and one because it's awesome.
The projects are, with yarn:
- Ulaborious with Malabrio Sock, color Côte d'azure
- Skew with Madelinetosh Sock, color Amaaranth
- Francie with Abstract Fibers, color Koi Pond
- Happy Street with Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light, colors Luster, Hickory, Georgia O'Keefe
- This one is a maybe, just because it's silk and lace, RosaFlora with Madelinetosh Pure Silk Lace color, Saffron
- This is my design, it's going to be gorgeous I hope.
I know I won't be able to knit all of these things or finish them by the time I come back home, but this should leave me with enough knitting to keep me busy. I was thinking of brining a sweater along with me, but I decided that these small projects would be good. Though now I need needles for all of them and I found something out, I don't have as many US 1.5 needles as I thought, I actually need to get some new ones, because the signatures are staying at home. I might need to try the sock rockets....
I will post pictures when I have more to show, just for now going to tease you all with the colors and the patterns that I'm working on or will be.
