Thinking...
I've gotten a LOT done on the front of my Dragonfly Relax pullover! I'm to the armhole area, which on the front means that I'll be doing a front neckline soon. (Sooner than I did a back neckline at least.)
As I've been knitting all this stockinette stitch, I've been thinking. I usually have a sweater, a shawl type thing, and something small like socks or mitts on the needles at any given time. Right now, I have this pullover (sweater) and my Space Mermaid (shawl), but no small project. I could cast on for a pair of footie socks, or (and this is where it gets crazy) I could cast on a second sweater, I was thinking Ravello. Ravello isn't oversized, it's top down in the round, and it's stockinette. I've found that I can get through the short row section in an evening and then it's smooth sailing. I have yarn for two Ravellos upstairs and while I will need to prewash them (after the colors ran on my last one, I trust nothing!), I could get that done today, get the yarn dried and start on a Ravello later this week. This could be about the time I'm ready to block the front and back of Relax, so this could be a good thing, right?
I mean, I've got plenty of needles, I might as well use them!
