Procrastination

So, I am super far behind everyone else. I have been procrastinating over my first post because I have no pictures to share. I had pictures of the new tank I knit for B on the camera when DH left with it for his 3 week cross-country road trip, and pictures on the laptop, also traveling now, but not a single solitary picture of handknit anything to post.

But, I decided I could not wait the week that is left before camera and laptop (and dh) return home, so I can, at least, post my answers to the poll. I was surprised by how many I had done, and more surprised by the ones I have absolutely no desire to ever do. Knitting for a wedding? No thank you, not unless it was my own and I've already walked down that particular aisle. And knitting with dog or cat hair? Eeeew. I have been supremely annoyed (not to mention sniffly and scratchy) due to the copious amount of cat hair hidden in my most recently purchased indie hand dyed Etsy skein, why would I do that on purpose?

I put together some shelving cubes and organized my yarn cubby last week. Ahem, pictures will be forthcoming, I am inordinately proud of my new little area. It was scary though to see laid out in one big pile just how many WIP's I actually have. I am the original ADD knitter. I can work on any given project for no more than a couple of days before I am compelled to cast on something new. In fact, just last night, when I had promised myself I would finish one of my current pairs of socks, I cast on for a felted purse instead. Oh well, it works for me anyway.

Here's my version of the list....
