I’m obsessed
I know I’ve been knitting a lot when I’m having dreams about knitting. The first one was about helping this woman in my knitting group, even though in real life I have no idea who she is, figure out how to make the log cabin blanket into a scarf that she could wear. She already had a decent-sized rectangle but she’d run out of yarn. I told her to go to the yarn store and buy a color that would look good with the colors she already had and knit a long garter stitch piece. Then we’d stitch the other pieces she’d already made onto the ends of the garter scarf.
Then I don’t remember the other knitting dream but it had something to do with a shawl. I’ve been thinking it would be so wonderful to knit a shawl for a knitting friend’s commitment ceremony in about three weeks. I’m not sure if I’m crazy but I’ve read on the KR forums that someone was able to finish a Flower Basket shawl in about a week and a half. So now I’m considering adding that shawl to my list of projects and focusing on it because I’m sure I could get it done in about two weeks if that’s all I knitted on. It’s lace-weight yarn so I may regret pushing myself later on. Should I consider it or do I have too much on my plate right now with the baby blanket? Granted the log cabin blanket doesn’t technically have to be done until mid-July and it’s been so much fun. But I think I’m ready for a bit of lace to work on and it wouldn’t be garter stitch. Bryan thinks I should stick with what I’ve got instead of adding yet another project to my plate. Personally, I don’t consider the afghan square one of my projects and the Snowflake sweater is on hold until next fall. See how I’m trying to justify it to myself. I really should get some more use out of the Barbara shawl that I made last year and wore to Brandi’s wedding. It’s a lovely shawl and is perfect for a commitment ceremony.
