I have the yarn for ALL of them (as soon as the tax-return shipment for some Cascade Pima Tencel and Eco-Wool arrives from webs.com) and I am having a MAJOR case of startitis. This is bad.
The Blouson and Ballet Tee are going to no-brainers as soon as it get hot as sin here in the Valley (about 1.5 months from now), but I need to resist those others. Currently I'm knitting as much as I can on the Watery Cardi (Sesame II) while I can still handle 100% wool. She is coming along pretty quick - I've got a front and almost 2 sleeves done thanks to the cabin weekend (more on that tomorrow). Marilyn's NSSC is to a point where it's become a couch-only knit, so progress on that is slow.
Knitting time has been hampered significantly because I'm on my yearly Spring diet, which blows. I make no effort to hide how much I despise depriving myself of anything, but I've just felt so tired and icky the last few months that it needed to be done.I always feel great after working out, but given how busy we are there's very little spare time and something has to go (since it's pretty challenging to knit on a stationary bike. I may have tried it once or twice). And right now, I've gotta ride this motivation for all it's worth.
Oh but don't worry, the nightly glass of wine is still a part of this diet. I realized a couple years ago there was no way in hell I could give it up.

I've tried knitting on a stationary bike, too! Although I can't say i stuck with it, it seems as though both the knitting and the pedalling suffer from the distraction of the other. I cna't beleive you have all the yarn for all those projects!! Lucky you!!

Howling over the glass of wine! I have been on Weight Watchers for years and they give you 35 extra points a week to use at your discretion. The leader almost fell over when I told her that the 35 points was my wine allocation. Can't deprive myself of my nightly glass (or two) of wine!
