1. It feels so good to be knitting with aran weight after weeks and weeks of light fingering.
2. It’s amazing how it literally grows in front of your eyes.
3. Ssquisheeeeee!
4. I can’t believe I considered making a full-sized, mid-length, long-sleeved dress for myself in that same light fingering yarn. A sleeveless, toddler-sized one felt like an eternity.
5. There are other things I should be working on right now, but I DON’T CARE. :)

Sometimes you just have to knit…even if you do have other obligations. Heaven knows I do it all the time.
I made the same toddler dress and I agree, it really did feel like forever sometimes.
Oh, when I wrote “I should be working on other things”, I meant “knitting other things”. But yes, you’re right, there are real-world things I should be doing as well. Oops! :)
Wow, good luck with that! The yarn is beautiful, so that makes it much easier. Must knit…must knit… :-)
The yarn is a dream. This is meant to be a vest, but I’m still kind of debating if it’s a waste of this yarn to turn in it into something that won’t ever be touching my skin… It really cries “lush scarf!” when you start ribbing in it!
compulsive knitting :)
gotto love it!
One thing that’s been making me proud of myself, though, is that lately all my compulsive knitting is coming from my queue! Yay! :)
Hee, I know what you mean! I finished a massive Shetland shawl (2ply laceweight) that I’d been working on for months and immediately went on to a plain stocking stitch, Aran weight, drop shouldered jumper – finished it in 9 days flat. SO quick. Feels nice to be getting through the queue again (though the jumper was for a commission and there’s another one to go)
Wow, that is a serious commission! I hope they were paying you by the hour!
I completely relate on #5. I was supposed to be finishing a sweater for my great aunt, but then – whoops! – I knit a pair of mittens for myself!
Yes, whoops! Hehe :)
oooh, a knitted dress!! That is definitely something I want to do one day. I love this green!
Yeah, me too. But not in light fingering weight! This is the pattern I was thinking of: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/still-light-tunic
Mmm, greeeen.
I’ve been thinking about a knitted dress for a while now. The red one in the Holiday Vogue in particular. Thing is,
that dress is a whole lotta look, and not one I’m sure I can pull off.
Hm, I don’t know which you mean! Link, please? :)
I remember now… That’s what happens when you read the posts in reverse order ;-)
