I could cast on for another Loch Ness Monster, but I can't find the pattern at the moment.
I should probably cast on for another shawl, as I am trying to knit 10 this year.
I have a couple of designs in my head I want to get out on paper...
... but what I really want to do it buy some new yarn.
I really have to stop reading other people's blogs. I was reading one (can't remember who) and they did Liesl (A pattern I've wanted to do for a while, and right now I'm all about top down yoked cardis) in Blue Moon's Luscious Silk Single.
Now, you know how I feel about silk, and I loved the Madeline Tosh I used for Tea Leaves, which is a single ply.
So right now I'm resisting the urge to buy a couple of skeins. I want this colour:
Motley Hue. Normally I'm not a blue person, and it may just be the name speaking to my 80s Hair Band past, but I really, really like this colour. But buying yarn just isn't in the financial cards right now - what with the speeding ticket I got and rent coming due and all...Sigh... I guess I'll go work on one of the Crackghans.. it's a good way to clean your palette between projects.
Oh, and we are indeed getting more snow up to 25 cm (about 10 inches) overnight! Woohoo. I don't have to work tomorrow, and I'm stocked up on milk and hot chocolate so it's all good!

I just returned from the store with my milk and hot chocolate (& cookies, of course)!
I'll take a good old fashioned snowstorm (from inside my home) over other weather events any day!
I know how you feel, had that feeling myself after I finished a big project. That color is really nice! That would make an excellent sweater! ;o)
We wanted to go for a walk, but it's so windy, and it's snowing, I just rather jumped into the shower to get warm. We let the pups run around in the backyard, until they had a beard of ice instead. :o)
Sorry about the speeding ticket ... can you fight it?
You sound like me with beads - I am working on stuff but thinking I really want to buy more even though I am not done. And my problem is I am getting interested in other stuff too (like reading here has me thinking that hey, maybe I can't knit but I can do a basic crochet stitch - that could be a start...) But I am in the same boat with everything right now - not in the cards financially.
That stinks about the ticket - I hope it is not too expensive.
What could be better than a snow day with hot chocolate and knitting???
Have a great day!
It's raining here now and very windy. We've got a wind and rainfall warning for the next two days and a flood warning. Sunday, they say, there is a nor easter brewing, but they don't know if it will bring more rain or snow.
I finished my Ravelympics shawl - almost. I have to do the edging. My first shawl, though maybe it should be classed as a shawlette. I had envisioned bigger. Oh, well. Knitting is a learning process. Now I can try and finish up so UFOs. I'm very unsettled in my knitting right now, have been since Christmas. Usually it doesn't last this long, and I also usually don't have that many things on the needles at once.
Oh I do envy you. We're having a rain storm, which is also conducive to staying at home with hot chocalate and knitting, but I have to work.
Now that blue really is pretty...just sayin'
Did you buy the yarn for Liesl? Or did you get distracted by dyeing?
