#knitsky #knittingdecisions y’all talked me into 6 more skeins of Wool of the Andes yarn to finish my vest properly, now I’m seriously considering getting yarn for a black summertime knit vest to get to free shipping (yes this is a crazy idea I live in a subtropical swamp but I work in AC all day)

It’s past 11 pm on a Friday night, why do I have a really bad case of startitis (aka I Want To Cast On All The Knitting Projects At Once)? #knitsky It is long past the time of the evening when good #knittingdecisions can be made.

#knitsky #knittingdecisions so one pattern repeat on the XO cardigan vest ate one full skein (50 grams) of the yarn I’m using. Slightly over 11 repeats total before I get to the collar & armhole edges, & I only ordered 8 skeins. The decision point is whether I order an additional 4 skeins or 6

1/ Now to use up the rest of the pumpkin yarn, I have picked a pattern and I’m try to decide between black or white as the main color. White will be easier to see what I’m doing, black will match my mood #knittingdecisions 🧶 #knitsky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#knittingdecisions whether to go rip out part of an overly-long finished project to get more of the main color of yarn in the current shawl, or just cast off right now and finish this shawl. not sure if I would have quite enough of the contrast color either, so I’m thinking finish. 🧶 #knitsky

Last pattern row in the Pumpkin Scottish Nightmare is done. Now I have to decide whether to begin the cast off in the blue or the orange. I am absolutely sure that I don’t have enough blue to complete the cast off all in blue. #knittingdecisions #knitsky #shawlknitting 🧶

1/ Now that I have finally finished my brass lantern (yellow-green to camouflage green) shawl, I need to find my tapestry needle to weave the ends in, and I want to find a yarn as opposite on the color wheel as possible for my next project. Purple-red or straight purple? #knitsky #knittingdecisions

#knitsky #knittingdecisions apparently I only have enough yarn in main color for six more pattern rows (the instructions are telling me to stop for the size that I’m making). Trying to decide if I should make the attempt to use all the yarn or if I should follow the pattern as written.

#knitting #knittingdecisions it’s past the cutoff time of the evening where I quit making decisions about whether to frog. I just dug this out of hibernation, issues are 1) pooling 2) right side cable edge is wonky. Only 42 rows to go so I may just keep going and give it away

#knitsky #knittingdecisions Sunday morning and I have the worst case of startitis (aka I Want To Cast On All The Projects). So far I’ve cast on one shawl and I’m dithering about which sock yarn (w/ vanilla stitch pattern) to use. The blue/pink is already on the needles, the purple/orange is found

On second thought and checking the pattern requirements versus the yarn stash, the correct yarn amounts may be my Knit Picks Stroll instead. It seems like the stash is telling me to make a gray/red/yellow shawl? Anyway it is past 10:30 pm so officially past the cutoff time for #knittingdecisions

7/ now the combinations I’m really not sure about: Color A as Calendula (marigold orange), then color B as Guinness and color C as Dry Dock. Or color B as Stargazer (blue) and color C as Copper Coast. As always, no #knittingdecisions past 10 pm, and I need daylight to fully consider this
