Yes, I know what you're thinking, but I'm not sorry I'm feeling talkative today.
For some reason, I don't really like knitting scarves. Not sure why, but they don't thrill me. However, I do like knitting stoles. Let's face it, a stole is just a giant scarf. Why do I find scarves boring and stoles perfectly acceptable? It's a very odd thing.
I have been absolutely aching to start on Lady Eleanor. I've got the Kureyon to do it, leftover from the debacle that was the little poncho-like thing from last spring. (Then I bought more, learned the color was discontinued, and bought the rest.) Is it because I'm almost finished with Keith's sweater, and I want another sort of mindless long term project? Or is it the allure of entrelac, something I've not tackled yet? The chance to learn to knit back backwards?
I could sit here and bore you to bits with my pondering, but I hear Keith in the other room, sounding exasperated as he says, "Lily, get down". I'm not sure if I should hide out here in my office, or go offer to help him. I'm just not in the mood to be conscripted into vacuuming.

Blogger ate my comment so I gotta to do it again. It was much better the first go round.
I accidentally taught myself how to knit backwards because I didn't know any better. I thought that was how you were supposed to get back to the end of the needle. I does wind up being useful for bobbles and the dreaded entrelac.
I also used to call knitting "purling" and vice versa.
See what happens when you learn out of the World Book encyclopedia.
