« Seasonal Affective Knitting | Main | Four more squares! »

So. Close.
Only two squares left to go on Lizard Ridge!!! (Yes Tammy, I knit another one last night after your party. I'm freakin' addicted, that's all I can say!)
I blocked the rest of the squares (well, they're drying in my spare room right now) and starting playing around with different layouts. It's going to be so pretty. However, it is starting to dawn on me that I have some severly neglected projects waiting to be completed besides this blanket. I know I'm not going to be able to focus on them until I finish The Lizard, but when I do finally finish, I need A PLAN. Because, you know, I'm a girl that likes lists! So, here we go:
1. Raglan sweater - if it's still cold out, finish the sleeves. They're not getting any shorter by waiting.
2. If it's starting to feel like spring, abandon the sweater for warmer weather gear. Decide whether the shrug really needs reseaming (I'm pretty sure the answer is YES) and just bite the bullet. I'd really like to finish that thing in time for the first day of spring - aka - my birthday!
3. As a reward for finishing something, cast on for Green Gable with that Cotton Fleece that's been hanging out in the stash for over a year. I meant to knit it last fall, but I think it will be really cute for spring/summer.

Sigh... I have the same debates going on in my head. You reminded me that I need to finish my Manly Mitts before working on anything else. Still I am hoping to see your finished blanket!

Yay! You only have two more squares left! I can't wait to see this sewn together. All the squares are so beautiful!! I would love to knit a sweater but just can't seem to be patient enough right now. So many pattern that I love.

I think "addicted" is an understatement! How about obsessive-compulsive?! :-) Nah - now you're making me want to start cranking out those squares (along with socks, a sweater, another hat, 3 baby gifts. . .) Must. make. list.

Seriously - you are out of control. I'm so excited to see the finished product, which will probably be done when, tomorrow? :)

Oh my goodness, I'm so anticipating seeing your Lizard! You should give us a preview soon.
I think your plan sounds good since you're putting the re-finishing in between the two fun knitting projects. You're reminding me that I should do something similar, as I'm thinking of so many new things to start these days.

You must have so much patience to work on that afghan. I know that the squares are fun to knit but there are soooooooooooooooo many of them! :-)
