As much as I love finishing a project, sometimes I end up with the "now what?" feeling. Knitting Goddess knows I have a ton of potential projects waiting to go, but nothing is sparking my interest.

• I have a pair of socks in Toasty Toes in progress. One sock has been done for a while, the second is just about an inch beyond the heel.
• I have a pair of socks that I cast on for Kevin and knit 2 rows before I freaked that there wouldn't be enough yarn (don't ask me how I could tell after 2 rows) and so set them aside.
• Of course, there's lots of other sock yarn.
• I have that Noro Log Cabin thing I was working on. I think I decided to make it into a pillow, but August isn't the time for Noro Kureyon.
• I have the yarn for mom's shawl, but again, mohair and August don't quite mix. Although today was beautiful and I did consider swatching it.
• I have 2 more sheep to make. One more for me and one for mom.
• I have yarn for 4 more washclothes. I have one in progress that is currently lost. I'm hoping that it just got sucked into the messy yarn corner and isn't gone forever.

I have no motivation for any of those at the moment. In the wake of Roundabout, I've been daydreaming about designing a sleeved version (sans leafs). I drew a couple of sketches and one idea I had included steeks, which I've never done and don't really know much about, so I did some internet searching and came across Eunny Knit's Tutorial. There's some great information there. But then I saw this. And well, I was very quickly clicking the "buy" button and I think I have my next project. I have a bunch of pink and brown Knit Picks yarn (it was supposed to be Tubey, but I'm not feeling Tubey any more). From my brief look, the pattern looks really well written and includes steeking (fun!... I'm mean scary!!!!!!). I'm a bit terrified by the charts and am hoping they are easier to read when printed than when on the computer screen.

Now if only I could get my butt off the couch and print out the pattern and gather the yarn, I'd start swatching.

(Thanks for all the compliments on Roundabout! I'm planning on wearing it tomorrow - unblocked because I'm a wild and crazy girl - so I'll try to get some natural light pictures!)

(And I'm still thinking about designing something based on the Roundabout idea, I have several different plans in mind).
