Here I go again...

Theres way too many projects I need and want to start. Not all of them are a combination of the two. Take for example:
Picovoli from Magknits... I can probably make it with the Symphonia I love so much, and can use the gorgeous robins egg blue shade I found at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago.

Shawl Collar Cardigan (4) in the newest Vogue Knitting. ... could use Amore or a light boucle i can't seem to remember the name of at the moment, and Simply Soft. Color i dont know yet. Maybe chocolate like in the photo. Or ivory maybe? Something fairly neutral. And not black.

Shawl Collar Cardigan (37) in the newest Vogue Knitting. ... I see Simply Soft in black and a red fuzzy but not too crazy yarn i also cant remember at the moment. But i think its a Berroco or Bernat yarn. Slubby, soft, and lofty. Maybe a slubby yarn and an eyelash held together so its furry and still slubby?

Are you seeing a common denominator yet? Sweaters. For Moi. Anyone care to bet how many i will actually get done? Yeah, me either.

Theres also baby stuff.
I'm thinking the Mrs Hoover doubleknit blanket at Knitty.com. Maybe another baby Kimono and booties? And a bear, possibly with a rattle in it that could be removed later? Or is that too silly?

I have a Noro bag, a beanie, and a dog sweater on the needles right now. Plus crochet flowers for a shawl. And a few other things in 'time out' that i should really deal with.

We'll see how much i get done.

Sundays are for dreams

Sundays are my dream days. It's not always been that way, but in the last year or so, no matter what time I go to sleep or awaken if its Sunday, it will be dream filled. I've always had prophetic dreams. Masked and other wise. Sometimes they cause intense Deja Vu weeks later, sometimes they're just telling me how things are at the moment. The Deja Vu is rare. A few times a year, but the rest of the time if I can remember enough of pieces I can decipher what my mind is trying to tell me about the present and the near future. There's only two times I can remember thinking how odd a meaning was, or how wrong it turned out to be later on down the road.
Writing them down never did anything for me. I'm too secretive to do that. I don't want things that turn out to be so true and important to me just lying about waiting to be found by nosy people in my life. Most I wouldn't mind knowing me so well, but its the handful that would take it the wrong way or be worried by how much I trust and believe in something that sounds so silly to them that keeps me from keeping better track of them. But I feel the same way towards many of the things they believe.

Knitting? Craftiness? Why yes, there's been some of that. I'm just partaking in national self absorption month, that's all. (what, you haven't heard? Oh, umm by national I meant Mirandas... hush.)
Sooooooo
I've made two beanies, one pair of blue kinda hippie-ish socks, working on a third beanie, and a dog sweater. And I need to start some things I've promised people, and more baby stuff (yes, more babies are on the way. gawd, will it ever end? No probably not. cuz then I'll start having them, along with all my friends. Good thing baby stuff is little and quick to do. And cute, that doesn't hurt any. If its a boy I'm SO making that baby blankie in the man issue of knitty!! Is it bad that I'm super excited by that? No, I didn't think so either.)

Um pics when I figure out why my camera and computer hate me so much.. yada yada, I know you've heard it for months.
