I'll admit it. I am a total scarf whore. Check out my little Musique number (just like Lori's!) below. Something about the big needles, instant gratification, and unique yarns just keep me coming back for more. As much as I love these snazzy little accessories, I really need to commit to a sweater from start to finish. I need to resist the urge to go back the LYS and buy more yarn for a drop-stitch number for the Sonoma excursion. I MUST I MUST I MUST I MUST!
Speaking of sweaters, I am slowly making progress on the Peruvian Wool boobholder. After much deliberation, I decided that it was going to instead become a Mini-Cardi [and thus coming closer to my goal of knitting an actual full-sized garment]. I am going to continue the increases until they meet under my arms, and then knit the body part straight until it hits mid-torso. Then I will knit the sleeves straight until the elbow, add a few rows of garter stitch edging, and VOILA! Sounds simple enough, right? But then again... I don't exactly CHECK for gauge, and I seem to think that pattern modifications can be done in my head. If anyone sees any problems with my seemingly-too-simple logic, please let me know so I don't have another caplet episode.
Admit it, you noticed my 'are you talking to MOI?' demure-ness as I attempt to cover my own cleavage. This is after 2 balls of the Peruvian goodness.
Finally, I leave you with this ever-so-familiar photo of Viva hiding out in my closet. She's that black blob in the middle of the photo:
I wish I was a black blob sleeping in my closet right now. Is it 5:30 yet? Hmmm....... come to think about it, at this time tomorrow I will be wine-tipsy somewhere in wine country and undoubtably lavishing a steady stream of PDA's upon my companion. I am such a fun drunk!

You know, I was thinking of doing the same thing with another Boobholder--carrying the body down a few inches, but with the front increases so that it will wrap a bit, and give it some long bell sleeves without the poofy caps. Heh, we should have a Boobholder-Revision-along...

After all eight years of knitting, I am beginning to feel the lure of scarves myself. The desire to have something simple and quick to knit is irresistable, especially for me because most of my knitting is done during the commute to and from work. A couple years ago I was in love with hats and it wouldn't take much to push me back into that routine again!
