New Verena

The new Verena arrived:

It is not my favorite issue, but there are still several things I want to knit.  It seems, that generally speaking, that I am more of a fall knitter than a summer knitter, at least in terms of the kinds of things I fall in love with and hope to knit, not in terms of when I do the knitting.  These two are my favorites so far:

Not that these are going to get made up right away, but then I haven’t knit any of the Verena patterns yet.  Must do that.

At the moment I am not sure what I MUST do.  With the ongoing reconfiguration of the sewing room closet there are a few piles of yarn that are temporarily displaced.  They had not been forgotten, but they were also not directly in my line of sight and therefore not in my daily thoughts.  There certainly is something to that old adage about "out of sight out of mind" and its corollary as well.  As it is, each time I walk by a pretty pile of yarn residing in some temporary resting place I am lured to fondle it and dream of future sweaters.   Keeping my mind on the task at hand is proving difficult, as I am constantly being lulled by the siren song of multiple yarns.

Supposedly I have a plan of things I want to knit.  I don’t remember what that plan is right at the moment.  Did I write it down?  I’m not sure.  My brain is increasingly befuddled.  There are several tempting piles of yarn waiting to go back in the closet, or onto my needles, whichever happens first.  The results remain undecided.
