Wondering whether I really am a knitter?

A few days ago I was reading Lynne's post here, and started wondering what is wrong with ME :)

For some peculiar reason I am able to say NO! I have come to realise that I do finish an item straight away including buttons. Why? Weird? Obsessive!

I will admit that I have broken my idea of only working on 1 project at a time. At the moment I have NO projects on the needles, that is because I have just finished the knitting of a Child's Size 4 Cardigan, while plonked on the lounge watching Bathurst, recovering from yesterdays trounce around Movie World. Sewing and buttons to go.

I have waiting in my knitting bag, Yarn and a pattern for 2 special projects, which unfortuneately unless you are on Ravelry will not be revealed until after February. I have to actually knit a swatch for these projects because the yarn is a different ply than the pattern. I am knitting 1 in 5ply and the other in 4ply. The pattern calls for 3ply. So please wish me luck.

The other project being cast on will be....... yes you guessed... a dead muppet scarf.... LOL
My obsession of a quick knit.

One problem I do have lately is finding the time to blog and write up about my knits. I usually have about 10 projects to add to Ravelry and here. So today I will leave you with a selection.

Twenty Wishes

Recently I finished Debbie Macomber's book 'Twenty Wishes'. Without giving away the good read, it is about a group of friends (widowed) and how on Valentines Day they start a wish list. These wishes could be as far fetched and whimsical as you wanted them to be. NOT GOALS.

I had me thinking 'What a fantastic idea'. So in all my wisdom I have started writing my 'Twenty Wishes'. I have 5 on my list at present. No I am not sharing because they are personal. Okay I will share 1; Use my STASH. Now is that as impossible, far fetched, and whimsical I could get? Well not really #1 is far more outlandish.

While on my blog vacation. Much knitting has been accomplished. I will not show all today, just 1/post. So that is decided. I have to post another 10 times, without adding to the finished list. LOL

So I will start with the finished product of the Sneak Peek.

The Finished Project

Pattern:- 8ply Aran Cardigan
Source:- Shepherd Book #349, Raglan Cardigans
Yarn:- Unknown
Needles:- 3.25mm & 4mm

Because of the cables, I decided to knit in pieces; except for the front bands, I just added the 6 sts to the fronts.
