After working so hard to finish the Impressionist MKAL, it feels kinda weird to not be rushing to finish something. I have a couple of pairs of socks to finish, and the April UFO but soon, May 1 will arrive and there’s MadMay (Madelinetosh). I have several things I want to make. Someone mentioned using the Dachshund yarn for the Winterfell Cardi and it would feel like Speck was hugging me. That thought has stuck with me and I like it so I’m going to swatch the Dachshund Sport yarn first. Then I’m going to decide between the two yarn possibilities for Tabouli and swatch those for the Stolen Stitches Tabouli KAL which begins May 18. Clue #1 is May 18 and Clue #2 is May 28. There are two more clues with the last one being July 2. Since MadMay runs through May, I’ll probably concentrate on making MadMay projects and then get busy on Tabouli on June 1, or maybe towards the end of May when I finish my last Madelinetosh project. Winterfell is one but I’d also like to make Liquid Gold. I should be able to get those two done in one month, depending on how much the garden needs me and . . I’m hoping for a trip to MO in May and if that happens, all bets are off on finishing anything.
And then . . there’s the possibility some totally new pattern will come along and I’ll throw my plans out the window and knit something I hadn’t even thought of knitting. But that’s what makes me love my knitting!
Is anyone else doing MadMay? If so, what are you knitting? I’m pretty excited that it starts in just one week.
