You think the cover is awesome, just wait... |
I'm paralyzed by indecision - something that rarely happens to me. I am the one in this family who makes the final decisions. We discuss and it always ends up with either an "I don't care" or an "I don't know" which leaves me to be the one who makes the final call... because I am never paralyzed by indecision... until today.
What has caused this challenge -
Scarves In The Round, by Heather Walpole, is to blame because it is full of too many fabulous patterns and I can figure out where I want to start! At first I thought I would make something light because living on the surface of sun, I don't get a lot of use out of heavier items. But have you seen the heavier items - oh my bob, they're delicious! The cables, the colors, the snuggle factor. I died!!
I tried to pull myself together and resign myself to something practical that I could wear more often than stare at it longingly but that honestly was no help at all. The lace, the picots, the drape. How is a knitter supposed to be able to choose where to start when they all beg to be on my needles?!?

Everything is grouped into fabulous categories - From Beautiful Basics to Creative Colorwork, it's all here. |
So I did what anyone in my position would do - I closed my eyes and randomly opened the book... this is where I fell and this is what I will make. Now, while I go and find the perfect yarn from my stash, take a look at this wonderful book...

I just adore the picot cast on and cast off of this piece. It's such a beautifully light and airy cowl that everyone should own. |
|
This scarf makes me long for the holidays and the best part is, it's in the round so all the floats are safely tucked inside! |
|
I'd wear this on more than just Wednesday, that's for sure! Can't you imagine a rainbow variegated against the black.. lovely! |
|
Don't know how to do something? Don't worry! There are gorgeous photo tutorials in the back to explain everything for you. |

Can you understand now how I was paralyzed... you will be too, I swear. Best cure is to simply make them all! |
Looks like a great problem to have!
