Willpower!!!!!

I am proud of my willpower this week!  The box from Knit Picks arrived 2 days ago, and I have been able to keep my "Start-itis" under control (so far!)  I do not know how much longer I can hold out, though.  It is very difficult!  I have been trying to finish up a few odds and ends before I dive into that fabulous box of fibers.  So far, I have finished and fringed the scarves you see in the above pictures (2 of them the knitting was completed, they just needed fringing) and I have also finished the other Red Hat Lady scarf for Jackie to give her friend.  Now Jackie has managed to convince me to knit yet another scarf for her granddaughter for her birthday next month!  This one is another fun fur scarf in denim blues. 

There are 2 more "finishing" items that I want to complete before I start the first felted bag.  The first is the fun fur trim on Kayla's baby poncho.  I found some fun fur in my "Outta Control Yarn Stash" that I think will work fine, but I have not got around to doing it yet.  And the second thing is a project that I rescued from "The Pile of Undone Projects."  It is a scarf I started almost 2 years ago, and then abandoned to work on Christmas knitting projects that year.  I had forgotten all about it.  It is a scarf made of Wool Ease in denim twist, and denim blue fun fur.  It is really pretty, and best of all, it is almost finished!  I can't believe I had forgotten all about it!  I came across it again while working on the "Art Studio."  I sure am finding all sorts of neat stuff that I had forgotten that I had!  It is like Christmas every day I work in there!

As soon as these last 2 items are finished up, I will start on one of those felted bags.  I will take pictures of the yarns and post them in the next entry.  I dare not fool with that gorgeous yarn too much too soon or my willpower will fade completely and the "Start-itis" will win!!!!  (I think I can, I think I can!)
