It's addictive

I don't really know what it is about starting up new projects that feels so great. I'm not like some of the bloggers I follow, where there are 20 UFOs in the basket - I just like to have more projects going on always. I think it has something to do whit the fact that I love to have knitting for every situation I can possibly run into - a smaller project that can fit in my bag, so I can bring it out anywhere I am, mindless knitting I can bring to the cinema, bigger projects to take out when I'm spending time in friends sofas, projects that are nearly done so I can get quick gratification on "down days", projects I have to think about for nights home alone with the telly... And I don't like periods where all my projects finish up at the same time - it's just not my kind of knitting...


After Christmas I've been too low on projects. I'm working on a thin cardigan which is light and good to bring along (st st on 3 mm circs, it can't be wrong!!!), but I need more variety. I found this single skein of Araucanía cotton in a sale bin a few days ago for next to nothing. It is love and I'm getting my mojo back, together with my urge to cast on for new projects. Finally 2010 is really starting. The pattern is Orlane's Textured Shawl, details about the yarns is found on my Ravelry page.
