knitting is a hereditary disease

Digging into the stash

Well, my stash contains absolutely nothing of interest to me. I totally frogged the socks I started from yarn in my stash. Once I learned how to do the magic loop, that was it, no further interest, bored to death.

On the subject of stash, if you're a Girl Scout supporter and charity knitter, looking for stash-busting opportunities, you might be interested in this. It's the blog of a young lady in Florida who is hoping to get donations of caps for kids in need, preemies to teens. Kaitlyn has also started a Ravelry group called Knitted Cap Knitwork.

I think the only answer for me right now is to find an exciting summer knitting project ... and that probably means I’ll need to yarn-shop. Honesty, seriously, believe me, I just don’t have a thing in my stash that screams “summer project.” Or maybe I need to take a little break from knitting and do some spinning. Now there's an idea....

Yeah, I just bought some purple cotton fleece for a summer v-neck, because who wants to knit rust merino Leisel (falling leaves) scarf in March? The trouble with me is that I'll FINISH the summer sweater in October, and I'll FINISH Leisel next March.

It's a battle, and btw, happy birthday, Jamie.
