I'm feeling the knitting blahs right now. While I have a ton of beautiful yarn in the stash, some of it still relatively new, I just feel unmotivated by it. I don't want to cast on new socks, despite all the lovely sock yarn I seem to have mysteriously acquired, until I finish the pair I have on the needles now (I've gotten bogged down halfway through the second sock). And lace just doesn't appeal right now, even though I've got enough gorgeous yarn for several shawls. What I'm captivated by right now is this short-sleeved sweater from Vogue's Holiday 2005 issue. The yarn called for is Plymouth Yarn's Royal Cashmere, a little pricey for my current budget, and unjustifiable considering my stash size anyway. I'm looking for a good substitute. Inspiration has to hit at some point, as it always does, probably once autumn's tang is sharper felt in the air. The kids start school this week, and that alone will open new possibilities.
