Oh dear.
It appears that I have completely succumbed to that terrible disease........
Woolly Startitis :o(
I think I keep buying more wool and starting new projects in a vain attempt to solve other more tricky problems but it's just not working and I have far too many things on the go.
So I thought I'd share them with you all.
Along with the new sock wool I bought yesterday - even though I have only 1 Polly Jean, 1 Rhodie Gus, 1 9-5, 1 Monkey and 1 Circle Sock and various other solitary plain socks plus a few halves on the needles. Oh, and the wool for a crocheted Queen Anne's Lace scarf that I frogged yesterday. And the teddy bear that I bought the wool for then passed over to Dot to knit instead...................
It seems I cannot be cured.
But here are some beautiful flowers from my wonderful Mummy
and my lovely Mother-in-Law
to distract you from all that wool......................
P.S. The projects are:
1. Flowers in the snow blanket
2. Some chunky alpaca wristwarmers
3. My first attempt at my own design for long 4ply wristwarmers (which are taking ages hence the speedy ones at no. 2)
4. Ishbel

Yes! You have wooly-itis and I do believe it may be highly contagious as I seem to have caught it just by looking at all of your gorgeous UFO's.
Mam's are lovely aren't they... mine is too :0)
You'll have to keep on a-clicking and get some of those projects finished - you and Dottie can have a knitter-natter hehe x
Wooly-itis... once upon a time I had it... and now I have quilti-itis. You could wonder what’s worse.. !
Lovely flowers from your Mom!
Lovely flowerage Missus Locket. I am in envy of your Startitis. I just keep buying the yarn and doing nothing with it!
Hmmm fresh flowers lovely. Is there a special occasion why both mums are getting you flowers?
Wool is just as dangerous as fabric for screaming buy-me-now-you-know-you-want-to. But as trash says, at least you have started stuff rather than looking pretty in a box under the bed!
I think you might need to join Marees WIP project finish thingy :-)
i think its that time of the year - starting to feel coldm so get more wool!!!!
xx
Lucy, its a dreadful disease...perhaps you ned to buy more fabric?
I used to have that problem with woolly things and I never goy the complimentary disease finishitis. You could always roatate them daily so you'll never get fed up.
I'm not sure which is worse, startitis or second sock syndrome. Sounds like you need to see a specialist...
Yip, i have that illness too :) xxx
Keep in mind, this will pass, or at least subside for a while. Keep sharing, your pics are lovely!
You're all set for a cozy winter. Looks good! (and who said your socks have to match anyway?)
Must be something in the air - startitis has been rife round here too........mind you, I seem to spend more time thinking about what I could knit/crochet/sew than actually doing it!

Oh dear, poor you. At least I know the name of my virus now. I think the cure is out there but I haven't found it yet. Maybe it's lurking in the deepest wildest parts of Wales.
Hmmm. Methinks if the mother's have given you flowers, I have missed your birthday. Yes??? Sorry about the startitis -- I hope you're comforted in the fact that you're not alone. Your projects are beautiful!
Oh I'm glad there's a name for it. I know I've had a touch of Startitis myself. Perhaps there's a self-help group for it, Startaholics Anonymous? If not maybe we should start one, and give each other regular pep talks about finishing, or moving on ;)
Oh Startitis is such a serious condition. I know it well! I have suffered from it all my life, or so it seems. I bow down to your greatness with Ishbel - she's looking beautiful, gorgeous colour. Love the new sock yarn, I've got some Regia lurking in one of the stash-bags somewhere, perhaps I ought to dig it out and start a new sock. I need a new project. Haven't started one for a few days...
Oh . . . you must seek therapy . . . the longer you leave it the worst it gets . . . just look what happened to me . . . .
Different life, different city, same me -
After a long summer hiatus I am back and blogging. Expect more wacky face painting, luminously iced cakes and general slightlynoodles-ness!
Please drop by for a spot of tea,
Yours truly,
Slightlynoodles Esq.
PS: Cath Kidston rocks my world. I sympathise completely.
yum, and I hear that alpaca is just dreamy to work with.
Lucy I have a similar affliction. We just got new carpet and I had to clean out my walk in robe. I have bags of wool but nothing started. I have no idea what I was going to make with all this wool. At least you are starting things.
Oh no - I think I must have caught woolly startitis too. I blame it on the cold, wet and windy weather - it makes you want to curl up and hibernate in a cosy chair in a little next of yarn! Have fun with all of your projects!
Lovely lovely flowers. Wish you could visit my garden at the moment as I have flowers in abundance. Good luck with all those projects.
Lucy Locket, where are you? Really missing your posts here! Just reading your blog is a wonderful treat for me and I've been missing you especially during the last week when i had a bad wisdom tooth episode and could really use something to cheer me up. Hope you write soon!
LOVE the flowers, and all that wool is making me feel hot over here in OZ
Not as many projects as I've got on the go...........you'll get through them eventually! Fran
You need to contract a bit of finishitis to counteract that startitis! I have to say though, that all your starty bits are rather lovely. Nice fleurs too. x
Mrs. Locket Darling ... I'm just a wee bit worried about you. I hope everything is going well for you and all the sweet little Lockets!
Hi Lucy - I just wanted to say Happy New Year to you and your lovely family. I hope you all have a wonderful 2011. :) x
