Resolution

I bit the bullet. I'm re-knitting the blanket narrower so it'll be long enough. And I think I'm going to stick to my row # estimate for each half instead of trying to use 4 skeins on each half. Any extra at the end can be added to the sides or something. I'm very nearly tired of this blanket, but it's nice tv knitting.

I've started looking at other projects as well, namely lots of baby-sized goodies for A and G. I may do a sweater each, depending on time and stuff. I'll have to take age and size into account for each of them. For instance, they weigh the same, even though G is two months younger. He's a hefty boy right now. But A is longer. We'll see what I find and what I want to try. I'm ready for a challenge and I think I'd like that gratification of making a sweater in a smaller size before tackling one my size. I keep seeing things I want to make for myself, so I'm pretty sure I'm ready to move on to the next thing.

The Mystery Stole is still in the works and no farther along than a month ago. I'll keep working on it, I guess. I've seen others' and they're lovely, but I'm not sure the current style is my thing. I'm hemming and hawing over it. It's been a nice project for my first major lace project (other than the lace panel baby blanket) and is pretty straightforward. Maybe I'll complete it and find someone to give it to. I don't have to like everything I keep for myself, after all.
