and yep - I've cast on for the Cranberry Bonnet.
In my defense - I've just come off knitting with Twisted Top Cat (Merino/Cashmere/Nylon). The Skinny Bugga was just sitting there looking so soft (it's the same blend, slightly different twist). The R2 sweater is knit with Regia. While it's an absolute workhorse of a yarn, it's not the softest to work with (though it does soften and bloom after washing) - definitely not compared to yarns with a touch of cashmere...
I promise, I'll be a good girl tomorrow and fiinsh R2... but for tonight... I just want a little softness.

And you deserve a little softness too! Great colour by the way.
Sometimes we deserve a little luxury
You HAD to reward yourself for knitting the first sleeve. HAD to!!!
That R2 is so cute. The sleeves make all the difference. I know what you mean. I hardly want to knit with Regia, Opal etc. anymore. You've spoiled me with your yarns.
That sweater so darned cute. But a little softness at the right time keeps the needles going! The pattern for the hat look great. It should cover the ears sufficiently!
I would have caved too. Sleeves. Blah!! LOL
I love the hat pattern. It's great!!
I have no doubt you will finish that sweater..all in good time
