This is getting out of hand...

We're getting ready to move and I've started packing by assessing what I have on the needles. Seems like a reasonable place to begin the process.

I've discovered that yet again, I'm a terribly unfaithful to my projects.

Let's begin with what's been on the needles the longest....

Laurel Jane's Cap (ravelry link), designed by Deb Barnhill, published in Beyond Toes

This is the second time I've knit this exact cap. But when I knit it the first time I didn't put the plastic in the brim and the result was that the brim laid flat over my face. Not terribly attractive. Or practical, since the brim covered my eyes. I tried to undo the kitchener stitch to insert a brim, but managed to unpick the wrong thread and had to rip back to the beginning and start fresh. It stalled out because Cotton Fleece is really hard on my hands. I only have the decreases left and I can't yet bring myself to pick it back up since it makes my wrists ache to look at it. I'll get back to it. Eventually.

Next up is Geodesic Cardigan

Not very far into this one I'm afraid. It's another re-knit. I had knit this yarn (Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light) into a simple top down raglan cardigan but got as far as dividing for the sleeves and realized that the needle was just too big and fabric too loose. This has fallen by the wayside since I had other knits to take care of.

Another sweater...this one is mystery knit along I was doing, the pattern is called My Honey.

I'm knitting it with knit picks shine, which is a cotton blend. So while I'm working on it almost every day, there is that element of hurt that comes with knitting cotton. Grace is eager to have her sweater, so hopefully I'll have this one done soon.

This next one is my "Purse Project", basically what I carry with me for moments when I have to wait or I have some random down time I can get in a few rows

It's knit with Schoppel-Wolle Sockenklecks basically it's been dyed after being knit into a scarf. You unpick the cast off edge and knit it from there. My goal is to knit up the leg until I hit the mid point of the scarf and then I'll start the second sock. I might pull it back a few stripes though to add more stitches per row so they'll fit my calves a bit better. They're fun and bright and I love them.

Also quite bright is my Hitchhiker

Knit with Wollmeise in the Flower Power colourway, it's bright and lovely. The knitting is simple, so it's great for tv watching. The colour is crazy, hence why a simple pattern is the way to go here. I think it will be lovely to wear in the grey winters we have in Nova Scotia.

On top of those pictured above I also have a colourwork scarf, a pair colourwork mittens, a pair of socks I'm sort of working out the design of as I go, and gloves for my brother that I've been working on for two years (gloves are fiddly as fuck).

So I really had no business casting on something else yesterday out of these yarns

Tanis Fiber Arts Blue Label Fingering Weight in Atlantic (grey blue), Tidal (light blue) and Peacock (tealish blue), and it's on it's way to becoming a Colour Affection, which judging by the number of projects and times queued (2551 and 5767 respectively as of this writing) this the new viral pattern. It's simplistic and addictive and I'm already done the first section. I can't wait to see how the colours I've chosen come together.

I justified starting this new one because I finished these

Rogue Roses knit with Socks that Rock lightweight in "Gertrude Skein"

I'm practically sitting on my hands trying not to cast on for a sweater with the Cascade 220 in a lovely shade of blue that I have waiting in the craft room. I think if I'm to stand a chance of getting any of these projects knit I'm going to have to pack up all the stash and patterns.

If anyone out there has Finish-it-up-itis would you kindly find some way of passing it on to me? If not, maybe you could come over and pack my house because clearly I have entirely too much knitting to do.
