I'm going crazy

I'm suffering from some sort of knitter's discontent or something.

I have been seriously lacking on posting pictures because it seems as though I have made zero progress on anything.

I am having a hard time picking a project and finishing it. I literally just picked up a dish towel I am working on, knit one row, set it down and picked up the owl sweater, like I just can't get comfortable working on any one thing.

I'm going to have to restrict myself again, get these few things out of the way so I don't feel so bogged down by everything.

New rule: only 2 projects on the go at any one time.

At this rate I'm going to have to writemyself a rule book.

Needed a brainless knit

So I cast on a dish cloth this morning!

I finally finished the Rider Hoodie

This was it pre pocket attachment

and here it is folded up and set aside until I can get to washing and blocking it, I will take final pictures once I'm done.

And I am test knitting a sweater for my BKF Keltie, this is it so far, Riso was so thrilled ot try it on, and has demanded matching socks.

I'm also working on a top secret project for the secret knitting exchange I am doing with Keltie, it has extracted much brain power from me, hence the dishcloth today.Here it is is...

Just kidding! It's a secret, silly!

I dyed this weekend!

I wish I could dye all the time, I love when I dye.

Okay, okay, enough of that. It's early, it sounded funnier in my brain.

I love dyeing yarn. Actually, I dont love dyeing the yarn but I love the preparation, the picking out of colors, mixing up different shade and planning what I will do.

You need to use vinegar to dye yarn and I HATE the smell of vinegar. I don't like getting dye on my fingers, or splashed in my face so that later The Mister tells me my nose is a funny shade of yellow. I hate the smell of vinegar.

I love the results, I love seeing how different yarns pick up different shades of color, and how different the yarn looks in the end from how I pictured it in the beginning.

Did I mention I hate the smell of vinegar? 

And so, I don't do it very often, but when I do I always think 'I should dye yarn more often.' 

This will be a Little MIss Who for Ris eventually. I'm testing the pattern for Keltie, my BKF (Best Knitting Friend)

This is why I have been so quiet

I've been waiting on needles so I can finish some socks, I've been working on another pair of socks, and I've been feverishly knitting away at this...
