Jan. 23rd, 2011 10:53 pmThe problem with being in the grip of crafty fervor is that I have two knitting projects currently (as well as several crochet projects on the back burner) and yet my brain still tries to come up with more.
So, I'm working on these fingerless gloves, right? (Not the pair I finished or the other pair I mentioned before, because those were very fiddly so I'm taking a break by doing something on larger needles.) And these gloves have a sort of abstract tree-looking pattern on the back. It's very pretty and it's done just by purling on a background of knitting, so it's very easy. I'm quite pleased with how it's coming out. But apparently my knitting has thus far not been geeky enough because I keep thinking things like "Okay, you've knitted one and a half pairs of gloves now, you have a basic understanding of how knitted fingerless gloves work. Surely, it is time to make up your own pattern in order to make knitted fingerless gloves with the Elder Sign on them. You know how much you enjoy your crocheted pair."
The thing is, that is obviously a brilliant idea. Every craft project can only be improved by being either Bride of Frankenstein or Lovecraft themed. However. I have to finish at least one of the current knitting projects before I am allowed to find appropriate yarn for this idea, because three half-finished pairs of gloves is just ridiculous.
