Bad case of Startitis Syndrome
Good Monday Morning.
That is a picture of the most recent WIPs. I am not quite sure if I should be happy about this or should I weep. In any event, this is how my mind works these days: jumping from one object to another. I don't think this is very healthy for my hands, knitting so much. However, I am obsessed now.
The picture contains following projects:
-Jaywalker socks with Tofutsie yarn, just started
-Jaywalker socks with brown shaded Super Soxx yarn
-Joyella sweater with Novita 7 Veljesta yarn, pattern from Berroco book, number 266
-The Baby Surprise Jacket with variegated blues and solid blue ww yarn
-Gloves with red and grey yarns, plus one finger with yellow yarn which doesn't show in the picture.
-And finally, the blue sock in the middle is my Campanula sock, I have both socks in the same state. All I have to do is spend one night and finish them both.
One day I will finish these projects, because at this very moment all of them are my favourites.
The Charcoal jacket is not in the picture because it's in my knitting bag, and I forgot about it. The hot pink cable socks are in a plastic container with all my sock yarns. I have been sorting some of my stash, and some of the WIPs ended up in with yarns. On purpose. If I don't see all the WIPs I don't feel quite as bad, as I feel looking at the projects that are in clear view.
I think I need to talk to someone about this "startitis" (remember, this is the word that my friend, Sherri, uses.

Yeah, me too. Yesterday I realized that I have to start Christmas presents if I expect to actually *give* Christmas presents. The list is long at the moment, but I can see it getting shortened in self-defense.....
Sorry I've been missing from blogland for so long....dentist problems! Ugh!
I think we all suffer from that disease in one form or another. If you learn a cure don't tell me! I love living in confusion!
Resistance is futile. You cannot fight startitis, so instead of fretting about it, just pretend you're meeting new friends to add to your circle.
Afterall, I talk to my knitting - don't you? Each piece has different stories woven into it and reflect what I was thinking at that time.
Startitis = multitasking on steroids ;-)
