Echoes.

Will try to tone this down a bit.
TRY.

Have been knitting a lot more lately.
It’s great to be out from under the giant cloud of stress that was eating my knitting motivation – enough so that I am currently working on SIX new projects.
SIX!
Six that I’m excited about.

And since I apparently am rejected by unmentioned omission from the blogging site formed with two friends in a giggle of L names and laughter, I’ll have to just mention it here now, won’t I?

Ahem.
Oops.
That got away from me there for a minute.

But SIX! Projects.

4 pairs of sock awesomeness.  2 of which are almost finished!
1 shawl of gorgeousness.  Yum.
1 baby blanket of cute sophisticatedness.  Yes.  It’s a word.

Of course, keeping track of which needles are on what has become a bit of a project.
And I’ve learned a few things about the yarn I’m dealing with.
Like.
I HATE Noro Kureyon sock yarn.  gorgeous colors.  Hate with a fiery passion previously only reserved for morning people and broccoli.
I love Cookie’s yarn patterns but apparently am too right brained to successfully identify the pattern on the first try.
And.
I really, really, really love magic loop – and really, really, really suck at it.

Sort of like peeing standing up, I suppose.
Great idea, harder to put into practice.
Or well, more difficult if you don’t like pee on your leg.
And I am assuming I’d be against that particular feeling.

My hands tend to ache after a few hours of knitting – I don’t know if my years of computer jobs is starting to kick my butt or if there is some form of knitting related arthritis that I am previously unaware of.
But, that is derailing progress on my bigger projects.
Lace knitting takes a lot out of me when it comes to finding time and peace to knit and concentrate in.

All in all, quite a successful Spring so far.
I’ll aim for pictures soon to show off.
But for now I just want a midget to massage my wrists for me.
