One of each, please

When I started knitting, I had no intention of making sweaters.  None at all.

I was going to knit things that had to fit bodies.  Although, I will admit that I was willing to consider hats and scarves, but that’s different than trying to make things with sleeves and that had to fit curves.

Yeah.

So.

I’ll take one of each, please.

But.  Which color(s)?

From left to right:  a heathered purple, fuschia, lime green, a mixture of a hand-painted/variegated blue with a solid blue (the Serenity jacket is actually felted and is knit with 2 strands of yarn), a dark heathered green (mixed with a solid green, a bright red, or a heathered brown (that has a fair amount of red in it, mixed with the solid brown on the end). The Starlet jacket, with the ruffles is also felted.

Oy.

What’s girl to do?

I know, I know.  I don’t have time to do any of them.  But I want to sooooo very badly.

But which one??

Oy.

Suzanne

p.s. So, I visited the bank to get the piece of paper out of the safe deposit box.  And get this:  the paper I’m looking for ISN’T ACTUALLY IN THE BOX.  *insert bad word of choice*

That means the paper I need is somewhere in the bottomless pit of paper piles that I call my office at home. Mark is just going to love that. *insert another bad word*

At least I know where the safe deposit box key is.

    The first one will take waaayyyyy too long, the 3rd would seem to require more fitting, so I vote for 2 or 4 and I think 4 seems to me the most versitile. But that’s just my opinion cuz I always have one!

    have you suddenly passed your mother in craziness? All lovely choices.
    I think we should have a contest to see who finishes her first sweater for herself… first.

    I think you need to make number 2 in size extra extra big so its too big for you, then you have to send it to me cuz it will fit me. Can never go wrong with red.

    As for the bad word? I know that word! In fact, I know both of them!
