(no subject)

My fingers feel the need to work on a different project, and I think I want to do lace. Which is weird, really, because I am also feeling like I need a project that's an easy pattern with big yarn with big needles (relatively: everything I've got going right now is either complex or needles smaller than size 5, or both).

I'm trying to convince myself that rather than start a totally new project (Hanami is calling), I should wake something from hibernation.

Currently active, I have:

• Japanese Diagonal Cabled Tank
  reverse-engineered design based on a photograph
  DK weight yarn at a very tight gauge (for me); due to that I can only work on it for a couple inches at a time
  about 1/6 finished
• Red River Socks
  personal design
  sock yarn at a loose sock gauge
  about 3/4 finished--currently mid-heel on the second sock

Hibernating projects:

• Sweater of Doom
  personal design not fully defined
  enormous sweater of allover cables in worsted weight
  about 3/4 finished.
  *sigh* I really need to make progress on this but it's daunting me
• Hello Kitty Scarf
  I could just knit to the end already and get it done--Rosa would be pleased--but it's annoying acrylic yarn and I've no enthusiasm for it
• Mystery Stole 3 (Swan Lake)
  given that I want to do Hanami, I really ought to finish this first, since it's by the same designer, and is also asymmetrical in design, though symmetrical in shape. But I have little enthusiasm for it at the moment.
• Smile sweater
  one of Tammie's projects, but she'd be happy for me to finish it
  bulky yarn, size 15 needles
  only needs 1/2 a sleeve.

I've got yet another partially-designed project in mind (Double-knit worsted weight! Big gauge! Biggish needles!), for which I've swatched, but it's not in a state to be cast on yet. I still have to chart it fully, and test-felt some white and natural yarns as well.
