Finished!

And just in time, too.  It's supposed to be chilly and rainy tomorrow.  You may or may not be able to notice, but the two don't exactly match (not that I care).  On my next project, I'm going to do something novel and shocking... I'm going to take notes.  Yowza!  You'd think I would have figured that out a while ago but sometimes I can be pretty dense.  I'm on the lookout for the right book for knitting notes and also the perfect project bag.  It'll have to be big enough for a sweater or shawl and my wallet, and it'll need have pockets for holding my notebook and anything other essentials.  Hmm, I may have to have both a large project bag and a smaller one for socks or mitts.  I found a McCalls pattern at Joann ETC for a tote that looked promising - when they were on sale for 99 cents - but of course they were sold out.

Since I've finished the mitts, naturally I need to cast on for something else.  The next project will be socks but deciding on the yarn is proving to be difficult.  Do I go with the lovely Amethyst Casbah yarn with the cashmere or the yarn I dyed at my yarn dyeing class or the periwinkle Socks that Rock yarn that I just bought?  They're all beautiful and I can't make up my mind.  Also, which sock pattern do I try?  The Monkey Socks that I've put on my Mission Possible 2008 list or the Red Dwarf socks?  I'm even toying with the idea of coming up with my own simple pattern (some combination of cables and yarn overs).  This may take me a while.
