Slump (or what I did over my winter vacation)

I'm in a bit of a knitting slump lately. I think its because of too much travel and getting used to a new schedule when I've been home. Not that I've done no knitting, but I've done no inspiring knitting.


Here is what I knit on my vacation last week.





In the hustle and bustle of getting packed and ready for our vacation I didn't plan any particular knitting project for the trip and just gathered the stuff to make a dishcloth as we were heading out the door at 4am. I finished this tonight as I hadn't completed the last 3 rows before it was my turn to drive on our way home.


The yarn is Sugar and Cream cotton that looked a lot nicer in the ball than it does knitted into a dishcloth. I love purple and green together but this just didn't knit up nicely. But its good enough to wash dishes and wipe counters.


I also have almost completed my ds's Gryffindor scarf. I didn't have it done in time for his birthday. Of course apparently I didn't do a good enough job of hiding this project because he asked me "What about the scarf you're knitting me? Is it done?" Ah yes, he just turned 11.


I have a very lengthy list of knitting projects, most of which I have the yarn for already, in a prioritized list. This will probably keep me busy for the entire year, if not longer. But now that I look at the list I know I have to change it. I need a project I can get excited about right now and there isn't much at the top of my list that I'm excited about knitting. At least my #1 item is now finished!


That's all for now.
