Itchy Fingers

Happy crafty Tuesday everyone! I'm working on the second sleeve to babyjama's sweater. I can't wait to finish it and move on to the next project. I've had a bad case of not having patience to finish projects for years. That's probably why I still have a friendship bracelet that I never finished making in highschool, a couple of unfinished crosstitch samplers, half finished curtains in the basement, and a 10 inch long afghan from my middle school days. I come by this attribute honestly (you should see my mama's collection of unfinished crafts).

I know I'll be so glad to get this sweater done, and I'll kick myself if I don't do it while it still fits babyjama, but there is part of me that's itching to jump into something else. The chocolate yarn for the pants that I want to make her is calling out to me, the yarn shop hasn't seen my face in a couple of months and I have craft money to burn, and believe it or not our stove could use a good scrub (I know that last one isn't a craft, but pretty much anything will distract me at this point).

I'm trudging along anyway...

I finished the first sleeve and got all of this done on the second this weekend, but sometimes even progress isn't enough to keep me focused on the here and now. There's a cheesy metaphor for life in there somewhere, but how annoying is that?

Dear readers, Thank you all for the comments on my last post. I really appreciated them. I think that's a record number of responses for my little corner of the blogosphere. The discussion that got started was awesome, and I hope that we're able to do it again some time soon. Oh, and in case you haven't read her latest post, Monkey Girl has an important (related) reminder for everyone.
