Commission progress

I wish that I could be more like the Bill Clinton's in the world...compartmentalize and live life in lala land. I am trying, I tell you. You see, I have a show in three weeks and here I am spinning and knitting for commissions, when I should be making progress on stock. Tsk tsk. This Desert Cardie II may just gave to come along for the ride and wear a SOLD sign on it, so that I have SOME proof that I still knit.

Now that the Never Ending Cashmere is finished (yes, Kerry...TWO of the smaller skeins remain unclaimed) I can put my backside into the dent in the couch and make progress on this thing. I can only knit on it in the daylight, for two reasons...the first being color (even though I own an Ott Light) and the second being those lovely and slick but reflective needles that drive me mad at night under that Ott Light. So, it has to make headway during the day.

At night, I do other things...Hey, not that...this:

These are the first two of the two ply skeins, from the silk/merino that you saw being spun and a superfine merino that shared the pot but not the shimmer. Earth tones all over the place.

Maybe if you made some ugly yarns once in awhile I'd get bored and stop pawing at your front door night and day for my next fix. But you know Lisa, it's you that set in motion this addiction I have to your cashmeres and angoras.

I try to look away, I try not to click, I try to pretend you're not there. But I know that comfort is only a click away. Resistance is futile...

I tried googling Cashmeres Anonymous but nothing came up. Hope for recovery dims with each new skein. I fully expect to die with a hook in one hand, a skein of your luscious cashmere or angora in the other and a great big happy grin on my face.

There are worse ways to go I suppose.

Awww Tom, you do know how to blow a girl's dress up. Blush. It is not going to get any better, this addiction, with the new box of hook candy, you know. Thank you for sending me The Others. :o) (I am waiting for the weather to change...I want to wear my hat and make the angora fuzz out. The last of that Mesa is in the new cardigan. Yum.)

Hey Lisa--just finished a new pattern just now, using a skein of your silk yarn I bought at KMAF, taking a break from knitting it--you're taking over my book!
