Startitis Strikes Again

Published by Abbie at 7:10 pm under wips

So I was doing good. I had wrapped up a bunch of projects, some Sekrit Gift Knitting has been finished up, I was cleaning out all sorts of things on the needles.

And then Startitis hit.

Train knitting!

It started with socks. This is Revival, by my buddy Glenna, who has a way of making twisted stitches bend to her every whim. She released this pattern about a month ago for a design contest and I gleefully snatched it up. I cast on Sunday evening, and by the time I got on the train home on Monday night, I had the above. Before I knew it I’d knit a whole leg.

Revival Socks

Yum. I love a good twisted stitch pattern.

But that wasn’t enough. I was still restless, and last night, almost without realizing I’d done it, I cast on lace.

Suffering from Startitis

That is Miriam Felton’s Flutter Scarf, for which I’m using the leftovers from some of that gift knitting I mentioned above. It’s going to be lovely.

I think the Startitis is better now. I’m going to see if I can get through to the end of the week without casting on anything else, because trying to decide which of these two beauties to knit is difficult enough already!
