I have a dream...
That one day I will actually get to knit some of the garments that make me drool in the pictures.  You see, I have this block when I knit.  I never start the big projects that I dream about.  I am too much of an ADD knitter.  My knitting bag has about 4-6 smaller projects in it at any one time.  If I knitted sweaters it would only have room for 1 or 2 projects.  And I would have to finish them, yikes! But the sweater patterns that are out there!! Oh, they get me all hot n bothered.  I HAVE to knit them.  My current favorite is Sylvi by Mari Muinonen.  I don't know what the rules are on posting pictures of knitting patterns in blogs.  Maybe someone can comment and tell me.  I will tell you about it or you can follow the link to see the gorgeous coat.  Knee-length, chunky red goodness with a vine of cables traveling up the back and over the hood.  Can it get any better?  I bought the pattern.  Can't start until the Man's Durrow is finished, but someday I WILL knit it.  I also said that about Green Gable also by Mari.  I searched out the Fall '08 Vogue Knitting mag just so I could own the pattern.  But all this early Christmas knitting is delaying my self-indulgent knitting.  One day...I will be knittin' for me again.

That coat is absolutely gorgeous. I like instant gratification too much to embark on those projects. But you're a Force of Nature when you decide to do something! Can't wait to see how Durrow turns out.
