Dreaming...

Chicago's back is going nicely up and down. Up when everything is fine and I pay attention... down when I have to hunt for this missing yo or rearrange the bead that ended up by magic (it seems) in the wrong place... I am just past the armholes decreases which is not bad by my standards.

This morning, the postman brought me:

and                   

I know: more distractions which I didn't really need. But I can't help it. I knit while dreaming of what I could make next. Now don't laugh at me. From reading all your blogs out there, I know that I am not the only one...

As I said before I love Calmer so much that I want an excuse (any excuse) to use it again. And here are the strong candidates:

                                                         I must say my first choice is the Loll cardigan, especially after seeing  what lovely job Elizabeth made of hers.

Now, I have ordered the Summer Tweed Collection as so many of you have praised this yarn. But I am not as enthusiastic about the designs and the only possible contestant is  :

Unless I find a design I like better, this could end up in my to-do list...

But what am I doing dreaming when I should be knitting. Oh I wish I was an octopus... (mind you, with all those sleeves to do, maybe not!!!)

Loll is my favourite too as for the Summer Tweed book, I think we must have the same taste, that would be my choice too.

I know exactly what you mean, I'm the same. Always thinking about the next (5 or 6) things that I could make, before I'm even half-way through one project...

It's not our fault, it's all those lovely patterns out there!! ;-)

Btw, I love the sweater you have picked out for the Summer Tweed.

I really like the calmer book - some great designs in there. I agree with you about the Summer Tweed - wonder if there are some new patterns in the offing, aren't there some new colours around?

J'ai réalisé "Chamomile" en summer tweed tout en changeant un peu le modèle. J'ai eu besoin d'une pelote de plus que prévu, est-ce du au changement ? Je ne sais pas. Moi aussi, je tricote toujours en pensant aux prochains ouvrages sur mes aiguilles !

So many patterns, so little time to knit... Each year, the number of patterns I knit is about a third of the number of patterns I wish I had time to knit :)

I want to know how on earth you manage to keep the numbers down to just four? I have a dozen new projects doing the rounds of my imagination at any one time!
If you don't like any of the summer tweed designs, what about knitting a one skein wonder from glampyre?
