Startitis? Me too!

Kat posted the other day that she has startitis... me too!! Besides the Hex Coat and the never ending baby blanket, I have decided to try my hand at knitting socks. I will probably make Grumperina's famous Jaywalkers or a pattern from Knitty. Although I haven't actually started these yet, I bought the yarn this weekend and can't wait to get them under way.

I also bought yarn for four of the little gift bags from the cover of Last Minute Knitted Gifts and have started one of them. Yikes.

I have always been a one-project-at-a-time type girl, but in the past few months my fiber/knitting obsession has dramatically increased and I fear that that trend has seen its last days. My list of objects to be knit seems never ending now...

Is there a cure? Um... can I have a spinning wheel please?

Progress

I am making progress on the Hex Coat from Knitting Nature! I was in a knitting rut there for a little bit - between finishing Clapotis and receiving my backordered yarn for the Hex Coat. It finally arrived and I have plunged fingers first into this beautiful pattern. On my screen, the color in the top picture is practically true.

The moss stitch creates such a yummy texture in this yarn. I love it!
