Absence of a KIP
Yes, ladies, it's true. Besides the FBS, which is on a semi-permanent Time Out, I have nothing on the needles. I knit another teeny tiny sweater today, but I finished it. I mean, I even wove in the ends.
So now I feel all weird and naked. I really should start working on the green Manos scarf that my aunt asked me (indirectly) to make, but I don't have my #10s in my needle case for some reason. I swatched it on #9s last night and didn't like what I was getting. Besides, I was saving that project as an excuse to get Nathania to teach me how to knit continental.
What else is in the lineup? Yet another teeny tiny sweater for the window? Aiiee! I think my limit is one per day (sorry, Nathania. I'm not the sweat shop you'd hoped for.) The sweater (for me) in beautiful Atacama alpaca that will go great with my hair. Nah, don't feel like alpaca tonight. Um, I could make a random hat or something. There's all that Claudia yarn on the table. I could get my ass in gear and start seriously making decisions about my Christmas knitting.
Don't hurt me, but I sort of don't feel like knitting. I feel listless and out-of-sorts. Ironically, the thing that usually snaps me out of it is knitting.

You are a Very Fine Person to be helping your aunt out with her knitting project. :)
We were much more sanguine about making 11 scarves by Christmas in June than we are now. (I've made three and probably only have to do one more, if we ever get around to buying more yarn.)
What color Manos is it?

Anything for my favorite aunt. :)
I'm going to use the moss green Manos. I tried to combine it with celery green Cracksilk Haze, but it sucked. Now I feel like I need a more interesting pattern. Maybe a cable.
I also have in my stash a skein each of the blush pink and the lavender. Maybe stripes?

the felted pumpkins are keeping me very busy! i'm not excited about weaving in the ends, but it is a fun knit.

It's good to hear that even expert knitters get tired now and then. I would give yourself a rest, and your appetite for the work will return sooner than you think. :)
