I'm following in the footsteps of other knitters - many of you who are doing great things that I could only aspire to. Yes, I'm digging into the stash and am starting new projects before finishing off my previous project. Last night I got tucked into this cute sweater:
(It's extremely hard to take pictures of laminated paper - sorry about the flash.)
Most of the sweater is st st throughout - a definite TV-watching knitter project. But the sleeves have these adorable leaf lace patterns, so I just had to start with those. Here's my third attempt and I'm finally getting it:
It's so nice to get a break from the vest. I like knitting it, but second time round I'm starting to feel like I could knit it in my sleep.
Hmmm, what project shall I start tonight. Perhaps the diamante socks from knitty? I'm on a roll now. Focus on starting projects and they will finish themselves... right?!

Your lace is lovely & inspiring! I like that color, too--very summery looking.

Looks like you are off to a good start.
I am always starting new things before finishing others. I can't stay interested in just one knit at a time. Wish I could though...

The sweater is lovely, and the lace looks like you now have it spot on. Several WIPs are clearly a neccesity though; tv knitting project, traveling knitting project, challenging knitting project: they all fill different needs :-)

I really like the sleeves on that sweater, as well as the color you are using. What is the name of that pattern? Not that I need to starting something new...!

I really like the sweater and the sleeves are very pretty! I'm trying not to start new things before I finish a project - but I do have several going right now....
