Indeed! So many great ideas! I hope you weren’t expecting US to run an intervention for you. We’re the last people you should trust for that.
That Handknit Holidays books sucked me in too. I ran across it Monday night and just couldn’t resist.

Now, you may think that you need an intervention, but is it really fair to tempt all of us with fantastic new books, patterns and ideas? Really, now.

You did it. You have taken my breath away, with every single one of your choices! I need to do every single one of those projects and I have to get that book. It also sounds like I need to get VK knitting, because that wrap looks gorgeous and I’m always looking for NONtriangle wraps.

You just know how to choose the best projects for your to-do list! I cast-on the other day for Knit & Tonic’s Not-So-Shrunken Cardigan with my Silky Wool (pretty similar to Silky Tweed, no?) and it’s so nice to work with. Different than anything I’ve handled before. Good luck with your project line-up and the tough decisions!

Oh boy, I almost had an axiety attack reading this post. ;D
I know what you mean about that book, I was drooling all over it yesterday at Barnes & Noble. Everything in it is gorgeous.
I vote for that super cool vest. Go buy some more yarn, I give you permission. If I lived there (which I will, eventually) I wouldn’t need an excuse to go to Loop. Such a nice store!
The sweater is also very nice and would look great on you.

Again, so much to knit, so little time. I really like all the patterns you mentioned. Those two color socks are great. And now that you posted that shawl from Vogue Knitting, I really wish I had bought that magazine.

You need to call 877-SOS-KNIT
As Margene says, it is the process. LOL

I love the sweater. Hmmm. I’ve got some stash yarn that would work well. Thanks for enabling me to add another project to the to-do list… and I thought this was an intervention
