05/02/2006: "Someday my pix will come..."

But that day is not today. I know, I know, this is supposed to be a knitting blog and what is a knitting blog without pictures except a repository of imaginary complicated knots, right? But (and here's the terrible truth), I have nothing to show you.

Oh, I knit a pair of slippers over the weekend but they're no different than the 30 or more pair I've knit over the past year, expect for the color. And I haven't seamed them or even woven in the ends because I am a lazy person and so, so bad. I dunno. I don't know what to start. It's not like I'm short of yarn for God's sake and there's no dearth of needles around this place and I DO have an unfinished sock for Dave still on the Addi's and there's the Baby Ull crying quietly in the corner begging me to come finish the Olympic lace booties but...

I resist.

Frankly I'm just a little nervous. The basic stuff is getting a little old and the next step may be charts and... I'm not so sure about charts. I have wound the yarn for Clapotis and haven't touched it (Mom and I were planning a Clapotis-a-long and I think she'll smack me if I start it without her). I have yarn for probably 25 projects (and far more sock yarn than that... and I need to get going on the Pomatomus-along) but...

But.

I'm all full of buts today. Which isn't too surprising since I started Weight Watchers this morning (actually signed up last night). I was fed up with buts if you know what I mean (and I think you do). I get the feeling that fiber rewards will do nicely to motivate me. After all, who wants to spend $150 on yarn for a Lavold sweater in a plus size if you can spend less, have to knit fewer stitches and get the sweater sooner because you only have to knit a size medium?

THIS may be the motivator that I've needed my whole life! Yarn As Motivator. Indeed, I think it could work!

Now I just have to remember to picture scrumptious piles of qivuit everytime I want a caramel and I'll be set for life...
