What next?

Like all red-blooded knitters staring down the barrel of an almost-finished project, I keep finding my mind turning to what's next.

This fair isle thing has been a blast and a half and I should start the next thing soon before I've forgotten all of the good lessons I learned. However, I am going to be travelling a fair bit in the next little while (for work, all you would-be housebreakers -- only one member of my household will be away) and I would like to have a little portable project to take with me.

I have knit a few pairs of socks (all designed by Cookie A) and enjoyed that. I didn't think that I would, given that it's a lot of work for something I don't want to stand out. But I do understand the pleasure of a compact project. I understand the delight of a nice bit of architecture (and what is a heel if not architecture?). I also, now, know the fabulous warmth of woollen, well-fitting socks.

I have a pair of socks worth of yarn waiting in the wings, too. That helps.

However, I think I'd better return my brain to the project at hand. That really, really, really wants finishing. I really, really, really want to be able to walk around wearing that sweater. I'm itching for it to be on. Must stop blogging. Must start knitting.
