Self Shaming

Here is the line of knitting shame:

I have so many projects just started to half completed. And the past few weeks have been stupid with the long hours for work and another project I've got going on at home which obviously doesn't include knitting.

The aran wrap:

My cashmere hand warmers:

The mittens for a friend, start of mitten 1:

My shrug from local alpaca yarn:

And the replacement scarf for my aunt (the other one frayed into bits and pieces):

So what does one do when one is faced with so many WIPs? Buy more yarn:

And plot the next project to start...

What? How long have you been reading this blog not to have seen that coming?

Busy, Busy, Busy

But not with knitting!

First, I finally graduated with my Master of Science degree - YAY!

Second, things have been a bit off for me lately, so knitting has taken a bit of break.

Third, I've begun the final purge and re-organization of my crap. The big push today is to clean out my storage closet where old papers and files, along with holiday stuff lurk. And assorted other crap. It's like Tetris from moving Hell in my living room right now. And even when I'm done repacking most of the stuff today, I've boxes of paperwork and files to go through and shred. Damn it.

To distract you from boring, here's the Tank.
