Woo woo, I'm a little blue train

While I didn't manage to make a post yesterday, I was able to sign up for 2 new knit alongs. Priorities, right? Once I start signing up for these things, its hard to stop. More, more, I want more knit alongs! Okay, not really. I'm bad, very bad. I sign up for knit alongs and only half the time do I finish. I did finish the Kate Along and so far I'm doing ok with the "six sox". I have failed on the Zoo Along. And I have been avoiding others I want to do as I know I will fail at those too.

So if I'm a bad knit alonger then why am I signing up for more. I can't help it. Seeing a knit along is like a drug right to the system. I get excited, my blood starts pumping, pupils dialate, heart palpitates, hands get clammy.... Well, maybe not that dramatic but I do excited. I want to join. I want to knit that too. I think this time I joined ones that I couldn't possibly fail at.

First up is the Man Along. How could I fail at this one? Easy right? But I won't. Really and truely. I want Husbeast to have a sweater. I'm fairly sure he will wear it too, even if its only to wear it to hockey games. Can I finish it in time for the first game on October 17th? Is that a challenge? Here's a progress pic:

I'm showing it on top of a sweater that already fits him. I have lengthened it and I'm close to the arm holes and I will need to recalculate those as well.

The second knit along is for gloves I have that sad solitary glove:

It needs a partner. Its suppose to be a Christmas gift. Can I finish it in time? Will it count as a finished object if I don't weave in all those blasted ends. I also have a couple of other gloves I want to make as gifts and a pair of mitts for me so I can play in the snow.

I'm going to be the little blue train and say "I think I can", "I think I can", "I think I can". Just for giggles I might chugga chugga around the living room a bit. I'm going to think myself right into keeping up with these knit alongs.

Talk to me
