I need some projects, knit projects that is. I am coming close to being done with this:

and i am still working on this vest.

And i am thinking about doing the swallowtail shawl from IK Fall with this:

misti alpaca

as well as making some more of the spider beanies to sell to raise money for next year’s MS150 ride.

So you might wonder why i think i need projects. The thing is, as you may have noticed, all these projects actually require one to pay attention to one’s knitting. I need a project that is 1) portable and 2) brainless, but not TOO brainless that I am too bored with it to actually work on it.

“How about socks,” I hear a few people ask (actually, i probably only hear myself ask this, but let’s not split hairs here). Well, i have been less than excited about the socks i’ve knit. I like my socks SNUG and i just haven’t been able to duplicate the snugness i like in a sock that i can actually pull on. If you have suggestions, for socks as well as projects in general, i’d be interested in hearing them.
