ok, so i think i know what's going on - with the knitting. i think i've been in a standstill because of my sis's scarf. she left it up to me what pattern to choose and i really want her to like it so i keep changing my mind about which pattern to use. i need to get excited about knitting again and not feel like it's another thing "i have to do". i don't want to spend a lot of time on a scarf that my sis potentially won't even like or use. oh ya, and the fact that's it's almost summer and i'm trying to knit a scarf? maybe that's slowing me down too. i may just force her to choose which pattern she likes so i can be sure it'll work out - now i just have to worry about the yarn i've already purchased working with whatever pattern she may want.

i have to add that while i'm typing this i'm thinking that maybe i'll just go back to the originally planned pattern - the Here and There Cables. maybe i gave up on it too quickly - i was having problems at the beginning. i always want to jump into a project and have it go smoothly from the very beginning - if it doesn't i get really discouraged.

so i'm thinking of jump-starting my knitting by starting a new project i'm excited about - those sexy Leg Cozies from Lace Style that i've mentioned before. i think i'll use the recommended Filatura di Crosa Zarina but in Dark Camel #1730. i'll try to stop by Weaving Works on thursday when i meet my friend for our stitch n bitch.

i finally got some pics from last week when my mom was here. this peacock was showing off at the Chateau Ste. Michelle.
