knitting

I wrote the other day about making Lizard Ridge. I swore when I started it that I wouldn't knit anything else until it was finished, because the plan is to actually finish it and give it away in May. Now that sounds like a reasonable amount of time, unless you have knitting ADD like I do. I have perpetual startitis and unfortunately no finishitis. None, zero, zip, nada. I have enough UFOs that if I were to knit on nothing but them, I would have to finish from the grave. And the Princess knows this. So when we planned this retirement present for her teacher, she made me agree to only knit this one project until it is finished. And I said I would. I lied. I tried, I really did. But then last night as I was browsing on Ravelry, I came upon the Gathered Scarf pattern. I had some gorgeous Sundara fingering silky merino in my stash just dying to become this scarf. I tried to resist, but to no avail. I hang my head in shame. I started the scarf. And I am in love with the yarn. It is the softest, most beautiful yarn I have ever used. And I have used a lot of yarn in my time- really nice yarn. I am definitely a yarn snob. This yarn just glows, and the feel of it slipping through my fingers- I have reached yarn Utopia.
