I've had several single skeins of Malabrigo worsted and chunky sitting around for quite some time now. I've gotten them over the years when I needed one more skein to get free shipping, saw a color I really liked but didn't have much money to spend on multiple skeins, or had some vague idea of what I would do with x-and-so colorway but never wrote it down. I pulled all of those out the other night and started pairing up patterns with yarns, knowing that I have a week of training coming up. I've heard from others who have been to this training that the trainers provide Play-Doh, pipe cleaners, crayons, and such for everyone since they figure you have to have some form of ADD in order to work in social services. (If you've met me, you know it's true!) I figure I'll take my knitting, since it's my way of keeping my hands busy. If they're going to let folks play with Play-Doh or color, I should be able to knit, right? Plans are for hats, fingerless mitts, and cowls over the course of this week, so I'm hoping that I'll have at least 3-4 new FOs by next weekend! Maybe I'll actually get around to posting some photos on this blog! SHOCKER!
Better get back to pairing, winding yarn, and getting cast on rows done. I figure I can knit simple patterns to my heart's content, but worrying about casting on the proper number of stitches should be done when I don't also need to be paying attention to my trainers. :)
