This Week in Yarning.

Or, How to Pick a New Yarn Project.*

• Wander around wishing you had a project to work on.

• Briefly consider finishing one of the umpteen ongoing projects, abandon idea and eat a fudgecicle. 

• Check out Ravelry patterns, queue, favorites. Remain uninspired.

• Dig through yarn stash, feel guilty for having such a mess.

• See this yellow top on Etsy, find cheap yellow yarn and figure out the granny square pattern.

• Granny Square until bored, and sick of cheap acrylic.  Put project aside.

• Seriously, though.  I love that top and I want to come back to making something similar for myself.    

• Pull some yarn out of the Shameful Stash and swatch for a sweater you've been meaning to make for an embarrassing number of years.

• Carry the swatch around in your purse for five days.

• Go back into the stash one more time.  Look for a long time at yarn you meant to use immediately, then lost the plot on what to do.

• Search Ravelry to with a buddy until she finds a sweater to make for herself.

• Eat another fudgecicle.

• Wander around Ravelry some more until you stumble over something that uses the right amount of yardage/weight of that Regret Yarn, then immediately cast on without swatching before eating another fucking dessert or another episode of a Certain Victorian Doctor distracts you.  

• Pictures to follow later in the week.

*Do not actually follow these steps.
