Knit Knack

Monday: camel Manolo slingbacks

Now that winter is officially here, I’m feeling the itch to knit again. Yes, I know, I hardly need any more sweaters, but there’s something about looking at the website for Artfibers, a cool yarn store in San Francisco, that makes me want to start another project.

Of course, one look at my yarn stash would tell you that I’m fine at starting projects — just not so good at finishing them. (Once, I was quite prolific; I’m proudest of this butter-yellow alpaca shawl-collared cardigan I made like four years ago. I actually even wore it a few times — in public too!) Actually, truth be told, I’m best at buying yarn for projects and not starting them at all. I think I just like to look at those balls and cones of yarn. Pretty, and so full of potential! I suppose I could say that about all the yarn — and beads and jewelry supplies — I have lying around the house. So many crafts, so little time! Well, if I start now, maybe I could even make all my Christmas presents for next year…
