Smokin' plastic

I've probably said it before but internet shopping and credit cards....you gotta love 'em! I've placed, I'm embarrassed to say, 4 orders (one for shoes that I can't find anywhere but the internet) in the last few days. And being so very impatient I'm constantly looking at my email for shipping confirmation. I really need to stop now and do some work. I've got inventory to enter and bills to pay. But really that doesn't compare to anxiously awaiting something in the mail or UPS. Yarn! Needles! Patterns! Oh my! I must say though, in my defense, that a lot of this is from the 25% off Carodan Farm sale.

I've been in a bit of a knitting slump. I had told myself that I wouldn't start another project until I get the pink afghan done. The new grandbaby is definitely a girl! :) Anyway, I'm not getting anywhere on it and I think as soon as I get the new yarn etc in the mail I'm going to start as many projects as I can. I think it will all go better if I have fun things to pick from.

So here are the things that I want to start.

Pink sweater and hat or 2 for the new little one.
Leaf Lace shawl for me, with another one for a DDIL if all goes well. Maybe both DDILs! :)
And I ordered Noro Silk Garden for a winter scarf. That might not be started right away.

I do have more things on the needles besides the pink afghan. There is a blue afghan that will undoubtably be put on hold AGAIN and there is a pair of socks that I just have lost my love for. Funny how that goes. I hope to find it back again. They will be fun little socks with a built in jacquard pattern. But they are hibernating for now. They just don't know it....or maybe they do.

Sunny weather today but cool. Only in the 60s. It's been really windy too.

Maybe I'll just check the email one more time and THEN start working.....
