Twitchy.

What's the reverse of startitis? Because I think I have it. I've tried to cast on for three different projects in the last couple of days and had to give up three times after only a few rounds. Managed to moebius a scarf, couldn't get a gauge I liked, wasn't sure about a pattern . . . just argh. Frustrating. And I know that I should be working on my Highland Triangle or my Noro fingerless gloves, but I just want to start something else. Twitchy. Feeling twitchy.

Might wind up the yarn and start on my long-anticipated cardigan. I've been holding off because I didn't have enough yarn - stupid mistake when ordering from KnitPicks last time. Math is hard sometimes. But! We communally put in an order a couple days ago, so the rest of the yarn is winging its way ever closer.

Between the three of us, we spent $200.

The internet is a terrible, terrible enabler.

So what's on the needles at the moment? Highland Triangle, stalled at row thirty or so. Fingerless gloves to use up the last of my Monkey Noro. The pattern calls for a thumb gusset, but I'm just doing a thumb opening. Also striping the yarn instead of knitting in one colour. I saw the Noro Striped Scarf and really liked the effect, so I thought I'd try it out myself. Almost done the thumb on the first one, they're adorable and funky.

Might have something to do with this cold I've been fighting off for the last few days. Spent most of today in bed, missed a couple of classes. I would have gone if they had been lectures, but one was a language class and one was my creative writing seminar. Both of them require talking and thinking and I am not so much with them at the moment.
