Finally Finished a Project

     Have you ever had a severe case of startitis?  This is when you have a number of projects going, should really finish those first, then see new ideas in a shop or on  Ravelry.com and just have to start another item!
I apparently suffer from this syndrome.  I'm afraid to count the number of things I have that are partially knit or crocheted (and let's not ever start with the fiber and fleeces waiting to be spun).  I start each project with the best of intentions, try to set goals to accomplish and wham! look at this great  sweater/ shawl/ scarf etc.  I can finish that really fast......

     Anyway, I finally sat down and finished my Wingspan model for the shop.  (I would have been done sooner if those other immediate projects hadn't cropped up...)  I really was thrilled with the Zauberball yarn. I enjoyed this project so much that I'm making one for me to wear.  Fortunately, it's an easy enough knit that I can do it while watching tv in the evening.


   
     This week we received a new model and pattern designed by Heidi Sunday.  It uses one skein of Baby Alpaca Grande Hand Dye and one skein of Baby Alpaca Ultimo from Plymouth and is knit in the round on a US size 11 circular needle.


So, of course, I had to start one.......
