things are fuzzy

I am feeling confused and discombobulated, mostly about the yarn and the knitting.

It's the move, of course--I just moved last week, but of course there are all these odds and ends and I am in sort of in transition still. I got most of my stuff unpacked but because my bedroom is smaller there aren't a lot of places for things, including my yarn, and my former organizational system is completely destroyed. I can't even fit the guinea pig in yet.

I should probably dump out all the yarn and try to reorganize it, but I keep finding it, and all the works in progress are scattered.

I really need to focus on a couple of things this summer: knitting socks (because I feel like I hardly have any pairs. I could knit 2 pairs per month if I was persistent! and I have enough needles and plenty of yarn!) and knitting things to prepare for the holidays (mittens. a lot of mittens. and my brother wants a hat! probably need to put the Packers on it for him to like it, but we'll see. Maybe 2x2 rib in black and I can applique a GB logo or something... I am not looking forward to having to do intarsia again).

Of course I still have plenty of things in progress--a hat for a friend, shawls galore, the sweater that never ends, fingerless mitts by the dozen... gah.

It's the summer stash dash and normally this gets me all riled up to start knitting all the things, but I can't FIND anything. I mean, I know where it is, but all the stuff that was in progress is hidden somewhere. Except for the blanket squares, but the last one turned out wonky! curse you mitered squares.

What the heck am I gonna do with myself all summer?
