I am addicted to massages. This is a good thing. Well, maybe not so much for my wallet, but definitely a good thing for my body. I treated K and myself to a massage yesterday (thanks stupid government for giving me back my own money and making me think it’s some kind of grand treat!) and last night was the best evening I have had in a very long time, and can I just say I slept like a baby? Heaven. My massage therapist is a GOD. K agrees.
So now that I have been massaged into a blissful state, I’m raring to go on the knitting front. I want to finish some of the projects I have going right now. Like the doggie cape thingie and Hoodie. Hoodie is the most patient project on the face of the earth. I have only been working on her for a little over a year. Well, that’s not true, I was mean to her and cast her aside for the siren call of other projects. But she’s stayed true to me through it all and has waited patiently for me. What a wonderful project.
I also want to restart the Honeymoon Cami that the unholy terror (JRT) destroyed the knitting needles I was using, but somehow managed to avoid the yarn. While I am thankful for the fact that the yarn was unharmed in his act of terrorism, I am still bitter about losing the cord to my Denise Interchangeables. Damn dog. Well, he’s moved on to a better home. No, I didn’t kill him. He just went away. Nuff said.
I also want to finish the GKI Raglan Sweater. That one, I want to take my time with, though.
Oh yeah, and my Aunt B’s second sock. I need to finish that too.
I am NOT allowed to start any new projects until I finish some of the ones I have going now. Do you hear me? I am NOT ALLOWED TO START ANY NEW PROJECTS.
Having said that, I think I’ll just head on over to the LYS tomorrow morning and pick up some yarn to make I Do. I’ve never wanted to do lace knitting until I saw this. I’m not a huge fan of shawls. Just not my bag, baby. Except I don’t want it in white. I’m thinking I’ll probably want to make it blue. But I won’t start on it just yet. REALLY. I SWEAR. WOULD I LIE TO YOU, BABY?
I already have some yarn that I can make Cleaves with that I originally bought to make a felted bag. I have since decided that I don’t want a bag in the colors I chose, but I think they would be perfect for the Cleaves. But I’ll probably need to purchase the needles. However, this is one of those patterns that I can’t leave well enough alone. I don’t want the sleeves to be quite so poofy, so I’ll be tinkering with it to get them a little more streamlined. I WILL NOT START THIS YET EITHER. REALLY. REALLY!!!
By the way, can I just say that I love my iPod Mini and iTunes? I’m addicted. Another good addiction. I can download audible books and music. I’ve downloaded Black Eyed Peas Elephunk and Gwen Stefani’s Love, Angel, Music, Baby. I’ve been rocking out to the BEPs. I’m digging LAMB, too. Is there more to life than this? I THINK NOT. (Outside of knitting, obviously.)
Happy knitting weekend, people!
If there’s anything I need more than yarn it’s a good massage. I’ll try to keep you honest with your no new projects pledge. I know it’s hard to keep with all the great patterns out there. I Do is a great choice
