DECISIONS, DECISIONS

Okay, so here's the thing. The blanket's kind of big and cumbersome for taking on the train to work. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. So yesterday, when I was not going to work, but practicing to see if my "new project" was small enough to actually GO to work (Be Prepared - I used to be a Guide), I cast on a hat. Turns out the hat WAS small enough after all; however, I finished it yesterday.

Anyway, a bit of fancy footwork and fingerwork, and before you know it, I had cast on a bootee. Now this is okay because it's something I've not done before so it counts as an Educational Project. AND a bootee would certainly be small enough to take on the train, right? However, I finished it last night, so this morning I was in a bit of a quandary. Here I was ready to go out the door with my compact little purse and nothing to cram into it but a whopping great blanket. Um, no I don't THINK so.

Anyway, I went scrambling around for another small ball of yarn and my small circs and in the car on the WAY to the train, I cast on another bootee - in a different colour than the first one. Who said knitting had to make sense???

So for those of us who are keeping count (Sissy!) I currently have a lighthouse sweater, a baby blanket, and a bootee. The first bootee does not count as a wip because I might decide to mismatch them when the new bootee's done.

Joy in knitting, folks...
