Knit faster....!!!

I never quite got the right-brained/left-brained thing -- particularly as it pertains to knitting. There's as much logic, math and structure to a design or pattern as there is creativity in colour, design placement and artistic techniques. What I do get is that the speed at which my brain is working -- both left and right -- is definitely quicker than my hands' ability to carry out the knitting involved!

There are no lack of projects I would like to see finished this summer, and I'm finding it very difficult not to let my mind wander as I'm forming the stitches on my current project. My mind is wandering into dangerous territory -- all the delightful projects that would result from a combination of yarns in my stash and patterns I've seen knit (or available) on Ravelry.  It's all I can do to maintain my focus on what's my needles, and stave off a full-blown case of start-itis!

So here's my plan.... (and positioned for easy access right beside my chair): finish two sweaters, two scarves/shawls, and be ready for a new shawl pattern on August 11.

If I can accomplish that, then I'll work on another sweater simultaneously, and maybe branch out to finish two additional scarves...  There's no doubt that I'm anything but a monogamous knitter!

Now, back to the needles...
