More than I can chew??

We have not talked about knitting in a while. Did I mention that I bought over half a dozen knitting projects with me to D.C.?? (Yeah, I have a paralyzing fear of boredom.) Because I am still in the throes of my lace obsession, I have only knitted on Leaves in A Brook (tell me if you have a better name).

BUT I found some beautiful silk and wool lace weight yarn at a Yarn Shop---oh it was a siren. Isn't it gorgeous?? It feels so soft and supple. And I found the perfect lace pattern as a jumping off point. Thistle. And it took me days to wind it into a ball...a center pull ball which I hope I won't regret--some have mentioned it can turn to a knotty mess at the end.

AND, the LSSK Lace Knit A Long is starting June 1. My mom got me some yarn for it...a deep aquamarine...I guess the color could be called (a wee bit fuzzy, but I can deal).

I entered the Amazing Lace KAL as well...so I must choose one as my team mate. Will it be the already started, Leaves? the siren Thistle? Or the KAL I have yet to even see the pattern for?? Or will I switch out partners like wealthy business man switches out mistresses??

Thonk!

Let's not discuss the regular knits I brought with me that are being ignored (the prayer shawl, the twining leaf cardigan, the lacey hat, Lorelei's fluffy blanket, and the DNA scarf). Double thonk.
