Knit what?

So I missed Knit Night again tonight and will probably miss next week too. I'm putting in 10 hours a day doing minnow rescue and by the time I get home I'm wiped out and covered in muck and smell like rotting plants. I have no wish to inflict myself on anyone else when it takes all my remaining energy to eat dinner with the hubby and kiddo.

Weaving in the ends of my hobo bag, but I am reminded again that while I love the look of stripes, the weaving of the ends bites. So needless to say, it's going a little slow. The bag turned out a little smaller than I was planning on, but I was running out of yarn and since this project was supposed to be a stash buster I couldn't allow myself to go buy three more balls of yarn just for a few more stripes. Still looks great, and the kiddo wanted to steal it. Think I'll make a smaller version for her.

I was given a $50 gift certificate to Hobby Lobby for knitting fun for my graduation but I'm having a massive attack of knitter's block. Not really in the mood to buy anything new until I finish some on the needles work, and can't make up my mind what I want to make next. I need inspiration.

So I graduated and got a real job so my knitting time has been drastically reduced. Set Belle aside for a while to take a break. Finished the Afghan, did my first pair of socks and am almost finished with my first bag. Still haven't figured out what the heck I want to do with that Alpaca yarn the hubby got me, but I'm thinking about doing Clapotis from knitty. The only problem with that is that the yarn is just plain black alpaca and lace weight. Maybe I could pair it with a cool ribbon yarn? I also thought of making a spring/fall poncho with the yarn, I found a couple of lacy patterns that would do that yarn justice. Still can't decide.

Started working on a poncho that I may frog, the fabric is just too dense to my liking so I may start over with larger needles.

Other than that, not much going on.
