Project ADD

So, I convinced DH that I *needed* the Good to Go Knitter's Tote from Michaels (and I did have a 50% coupon that Chauntel gave me (THANK YOU!) that saved me $20. Yippee! I even justified buying some yarn (Caron Simply Soft in black for the shawl I'm making for my MIL).

As Michael's says:

You’re going to love this Knitter’s Tote! It’s crafted exclusively to hold everything you need for storing or transporting your knitting project. Outside pockets hold plenty of yarn. Each skein pocket has an eyelet inside so that yarn can be threaded into the interior of the bag. Protect your yarn when you pull it through without having to take out the skein. Inside pockets hold all your accessories, like scissors, tape measure, and pins. Zippered and clear acetate pockets make all your supplies easily visible and accessible. Rulers and knitting needles have a spot at each end of the bag secured by elastic bands. There is plenty of room inside to hold your project and books.

And love it I DO!! I currently have all six pockets full of yarn (two for the afghan, two for the baby blanket I'm working on and two for the shawl). The inside fits my notions box, the afghan (which is nearly halfway done), the baby blanket squares I've made so far (about 10 3.5" granny squares), and a few books. As long as I finish at least one project before too long, I should be able to carry all of them in there (the afghan might be kicked out eventually).

Speaking of projects. I am suffering from project ADD. I have two projects in the works (plaid afghan and baby blanket), yet I'm feeling bored and ready to start something new (namely, the shawl). I'm trying to finish the items I really NEED to do first, though, and using the plaid afghan as my "I don't have to think while I work on this" project. The baby blanket squares are easy to work on since they're small, but I feel like I'm doing chain loops every 5 minutes (oh wait, I am!), and that's getting old faster than I thought. *sigh*

Oh well...press on Marieke, press on.

Anyway, off to finish my workday...
