Oh what a magpie I am! I see a lovely, brand new shiny knitting pattern and I want it NOW!! Monogamous knitting has gone right out of the window I'm afraid and it will most likely end in tears, when I get frustrated by my lack of finishing anything. Let me confess to you all my new projects.
Number 1 - a Squish Me slouchy hat. I don't have a purple hat, and thought it was about time I did!
Number 2 - a pair of Plain Jhayne mitts. This qiviuk yarn has been calling to me ever since I received it last December; a birthday gift from a dear friend. I suffer from cold hands, so this light as a feather pair of mitts should help to keep me warm. Mine aren't quite as plain as the name sounds though, as I'm adding beads.
Number 3 - a pair of Gridiron socks. This yarn was a part of a swap gift last year, I love the deep, jewel-like tones.
Number 4 - Tidal Sands cowl. I find cowls really wearable. Lots of cosiness around the neck without the bulk and loose ends of a scarf. Flo likes the yarn, it's Breakfast Blend fingering in the Burnt Toast colourway. Very snuggly!
Number 5 - a neat ripple crochet blanket for the cat sanctuary. I had the urge to get hooking again!
Not to mention my other current projects - two, yes two cardigans and a blanket (plus the three projects currently in hibernation!!) I won't get bored or run out of things to knit, that's for sure!! See you soon for a progress report! xxx

These all seem very doable to me! A project for every mood!
That's a very lovely owls bag there Josiekitten! I think you definitly need to make each of those very lovely projects. Looking forward to seeing them all as they roll off the needles! ;-) x
Great choices and I love the colours in the blanket.
i'm glad to see you've busted out the ol'crochet hook!!
i must be feeling like a magpie too because as i saw each of your new projects i thought "well of course she *needed* to start that one!" as well as "ooooh! i want to make that tooo!!!!!"

I refuse to look on my Ravelry page to see how many purple hats I have, but I can say with certainly that you definately need one, and the colour you're using is gorgeous!
I've had a look at all the patterns for your projects, and all of them are lovely, especially the cowl.
Casting on is so much fun. Can't help it.
