Knitting ADD

Yes, I currently have it. I was getting so good at working on one project at a time then a second kept in then next thing you know I have 3 going. What am I thinking?!

First up we have the new sweater finally in progress. This one took me a long time to find the right pattern but now we have it.
Ribby Pulli
I am currently working on the body and have about 9" more to go but it is easy knitting and great for TV watching and for those little bits of down time at appointments. I love the yarn and the fabric I am getting with it. I really need more Calmer.

Second is the Montego Bay Scarf from IK. It is done in Sea Silk which is also a great yarn to work with and if it wasn't so pricey I would make a top out of it too. Might still have to splurge on that idea.

This one is actually done except for blocking it. I was ready for some rolling but this thing looks like a very small spaghetti noodle. I don't think I will pin it, just lie it out and see how that goes.

I also have to weave in the ends. Hardly a lot of them but I just can't seem to get to it.

Third is the SotS2. We got clue 3 last Friday and so that was the weekend knitting which spilled into Monday because of the Super Bowl. Normally I would of knitted but we went to a party so I didn't get to.

I am thinking this will be the last "mystery" knit for me for a while. I used to love them but I think I am done. I will finish this one but after that no more. I still have my lace club to look forward to starting in March so we will just stick with those.

I am also thinking about casting on for one more project since really the scarf is done and I have the yarn and pattern all picked out. It will be the Essential Tank Top from Lace Style (it is the one in blue)and I will probably use this yarn

from Spritely Goods. Tell me I shouldn't be too hot in superwash merino. Hmmm...Sea Silk would work too...guess we will see.

Your stole is coming along wonderfully. I tried the Montego Bay Scarf a while back but hated the yarn I was using for it. I'll have to give it another try with some silk. I can't wait to see the new tank. That is a great pattern for your beautiful yarn.

I bet that Calmer is behaving so wonderful for your sweater. It's like the antidote to bad "hair" day knitting. Does that make sense? The scarf came out beautifully....I just may have to make one...definitely in pink. And I do love how the stole is coming out. I can understand, though, what you're saying about mystery knit alongs being enough for you....I think there's only so much mystery you can take with lace. Really inspiring pics!

I just love the color you chose for the Secret of the Stole II. I hope you won't be a stranger when the next one rolls around in July/August... It is nice having you in the groups!
