Mmmm... mindless. The only trouble with picking something mindless up to give yourself a break from more complicated projects is that you can get a little carried away.
See? I'm half finished already, and I just started yesterday!

This is so soft and cuddly! I keep stopping to rub it against my face. Who it's for I do not know; I might keep it for myself, as it's very me, or I might bestow it upon my cousin. I hope it ends up long enough. As I am wont to do, I made it a little too wide (28 stitches on 10.5's) and might just have to buy another ball of Fizz (which is extremely cute, by the way!) to ensure that it's very nice and long. I think I might be able to stretch it after lightly felting it; it's very stretchy now and just might hold its shape if I convince it to.
I need more big-needle projects. Virtually everything I have planned is to be done on size 6's. I need variety!
I emailed Jill from Just One More Row and mentioned my troubles. She responded really quickly, offering to let me return the pattern and yarn or, alternatively, she can send me a different pattern for something I might like more. I think I'll go with the second option, since it's more than generous. Talk about fabulous customer service!
