I have a fierce case of startitis in the knitting department these days. After my forced vacation from knitting for several days, I ended up with a backlog of ideas that needed expression.

I'm still icing my thumb on and off however. I think this is going to be a regular thing with me.... I suspect arthritis. Oh joy! I have modified my purl stitch depending on what I'm working on, and so far, so good. One has to make adjustments. I shall prevail.

Anyway, I'm working on a scarf for a family member, a snowman I saw on the cover of the Knit Picks catalog, and a secret project for a woman I met at the craft fair.... simultaneously.

Well, not strictly speaking, but I work on each one a little bit each day. And I gotta tell you it feels like knitting adultery. Stitchultery? Serial Yarlandering? Needlesharing? No, wait, that doesn't sound right.... Anyway.
I usually like to finish one thing and then go to the next, but in my .... I was going to say 'golden years' but that doesn't sound right. In my ....dotage, I am learning to appreciate the advantages and joys of skipping around from one thing to the other. It just doesn't feel ... RESPONSIBLE, in that grown-up, no nonsense manner that I have cultivated for lo these many years.

This lack of focused attention feels kinda flaky to tell you the truth. Nevertheless I'm getting rather fond of it in a subversive, rebellious sort of way. Besides, I want the snowman. I want the snowman right now. And the snowman won't take as long as the scarf.

You would too if you could see them. Just a minute...

Snowmen That Cause ADD

See?

All kinds of adorable.

Okay, gotta go. I have knitting.... here and there.
