I NEED TO FOCUS or get organized or something. I have sooooo many things planned that I have bought yarn (or received yarn . . . see the I Love Swaps posting) that I have become completely bogged down in indecision.
I received the green yarn that I have decided to make a scarf with. I think I will make it in the Backyard Leaves pattern from Scarf Style. Here is a pic from the Knitpicks website: http://www.knitpicks.com/projects/projects_display_yarn.aspx?itemid=30529222#
Of course, there are about three or four or five . . . other projects in the same book.
The other thing is I am itching to do some cabling . . . and there is always Lindsey's Knitwit hat which, by the way, I hate.
I know that I need to finish Zachariah's wallaby. It is really lovely and he is so very excited.
I have also bought more KnitPicks Memories yarn to make bowls and such for Christmas. They knit up quickly, the yarns are wonderful to work with and I enjoy doing them. Plus there is the added advantage of saying to people who ask "oh, what are you making" to respond "a bowl." It is a lovely thing.
Plus, I would really like to make some of Jane's cups/saucers see http://janevdoviak.blogspot.com/2006/08/felted-pottery.html. They are lovely and I think would be fun to give especially to a friend who collects tea cups.
I have also bought some yarn to make a bowl for the Colorswap red/pink for September.
The other problem, just between us, is that I am lusting for the Knitpicks knitting bag. I have put the silly thing in and out of my cart so many times that I am sure, Knitpicks web browser is going to send me an email and say "just buy the thing already"!
And, I should be studying. AHHHHH.

Mary Lynn,
I'm responding to your kind suggestion on The Yarn Harlot's blog. Since this says you will moderate comments, it seemed a better place to respond than on Stephanie's site.
I *know* about juice boxes, but we are generally prefer the fruit to its juice. Plus my kids still can't manage them without getting about half of the contents on themselves.
Today I bought thermoses. We'll see if that passes the "cool" test. As in "I'm 8 and I'm just discovering peer pressure."
All that said, I do appreciate your comment as I know it was offered to be helpful as we all rant and rail against the start of school.

Hello.
I just love the leaves pattern and the cup & saucer. That green yarn in the book is soooo beautiful. The hue is striking. I have been oogling over both for the last 6 months. I thought I'd say hello. Have a great day!
