My very exasperated bun, GanacheNeedless to say, the knitting progress has suffered. Nonetheless, here's what's been on my needles as of late:
First up is the Effortless Cardigan designed by Hannah Fettig, that I'm knitting with the Tumblr gals. Basically, I'm a sucker for MadelineTosh yarns so it's definitely been a pleasure to knit. I'm past the subtle waist shaping and now finishing the length of the cardi body. And this sweater truly is a breeze, ignoring the fact that I hate purling these long rows. Seriously, I've taken against purling. Moving on.
The other WIP is Hermione's Everyday Socks designed by Dreams in Fiber, that I'm knitting in the most gorgeous sock yarn ever: Neighborhood Fiber Company's studio sock yarn in the Bloomingdale colorway. Basically, this plummy-peachy colorway is perfection, and the fact that it's lovingly dyed in DC makes my heart even warmer. The only problem with these socks is that they're distracting me from sweater knitting. The typical complaints, of course.
The socks are a product of serious startitis, and I'm realizing that my eyes are bigger than my knitting needles, lately. There's so much I want to knit and so much yarn I'd like to buy, that I simply give up, hide underneath a blanket on the sofa watching Pride and Prejudice on repeat, and forget knitting altogether. What do you do when knitting fatigue sets in?

Happy knitting!

Your sweater is coming along nicely. I love the colors in your sock yarn it reminds me of sunsets.
What a cute little rabbit! Your sweater and socks are going to be lovely :)
When I have lots of projects started I don't know which one to knit first. So I start making lists and planning, figuring out how long each one will take, then I go look at my stash, etc.. Of course, I'm sure that if I spent that time knitting, instead of just thinking about knitting, I would have a lot more FOs ;)
Love the colors!
That cardigan is gonna look great when you've finished it, cheers for the link,its been added to my queue :-)
Gorgeous colour sock yarn.
Cute looking rabbit.
I love love love your sweater so far! IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
The bunny is so cute! I've had my eye on that sweater so I'll look forward to seeing yours as you work on it. Do take a break from knitting if you need it though. You don't want to make that shoulder worse. It will all get done eventually!
Those socks are beautiful. Also, the rabbit is adorable and I want to cuddle him/her SO badly. Give the bunny an earscratch for me?
Ganache is adorable -- what a great name, too. All your projects are beautiful (LOVE the sweater), but you keep making me want to go to the LYS despite all my yarn dieting intentions!
The Effortless Cardi is in my queue-- can't wait to see how yours turns out. Cute bunny!
Cute bun! We have bunnies, they are fun. Love the sock yarn, it really is an awesome color!! Nice sweater, I'll have to look up that pattern, I've been looking for another sweater pattern.
Your new bunny is adorable! I love that yarn you are using for your socks. The color is gorgeous! I've felt like you before. Sometimes just looking at all the stuff in my knitting bag exhausts me, and I decide to watch tv or take a nap instead. It's really frustrating, because it usually happens on days when I plan on getting a lot done.
Love the cardigan! It's going to look great :D
Excuse me while I go squeal *BUNNY!*
Ok, I'm back and will admire the pretty colors now.
