A little light panic

I'm about to run out of projects! Of course there are endless socks to knit, but to me socks are 'filler' projects which I work on in between the big stuff. I dont feel quite ready to start the dress yet - it will be six months before I would conceivabley get a chance to wear such a garmemt; I've got a Clapotis on the go that is 3/4s done, and I've almost finished the main parts of the Sgt Pepper jacket and after that... what???

You say panic, I say potential. What about a summer knit--a light cardi or a tank or shrug? I think I'm going to try to work up a shrug over the next few weeks to wear to my dissertation defense--we could have a shrug-along!

I think it's time for another original design!!

How long are we talking here, it doesn't sound too long, I think you need to design a little top/jacket that would see us through those days when the sun fails to appear or to be able to pop it on for a light coverup on those evening strolls to the pub!

Wow...I don't remember a time when I didn't have a project or two going. That sounds wonderful to be all caught up and have nothing on the horizen. I like the idea of a shrug...there were a bunch of downloadable shrug patterns from the latest issue of Interweave Knits. I personally think that you need to design more stripey stuff...maybe a light little cardigan? I can't wait to see what you come up with!

How about a cotton summer dress? I saw this in a magazine last night and thought 'Anna might really like this', I know this Anna does! I think I would use different colours though! http://www.tahkistacycharles.com/Patterns/patterns_detail.asp?CatID=4&ID=479&New=TRUE&pg=9

My trouble is I have far too much I'd like to make and just not enough time or funds for yarn to do it!

How about a Farose shawl? That could take a while depending on the pattern you choose.

Hmmmm...what about beaded wristwarmers...I've been wanting to try beading, but maybe that is too easy for you...I also think a fun summer cardigan or shrug like was mentioned in earlier comments.
