Startitis

I have it. I can't stop starting new things today.

I've tried to start about five projects today. They're all surrounding me in the craft room. And I'd swear they're laughing. Obviously, they don't know that I can rip them out as quickly as I started them.

In addition, the new treadmill was delivered today, so it had to be tried out. It has the handle thingies for working your arms and back while you walk. And several pre-programmed workouts each for just walking, and for walking while using the arm thingies. I'll have to work up to that. All of their workouts are beyond my ability right now. I'd fall right off the back if I tried to walk that fast. But it sure is nice! Much quieter than the old one. It also has an incline function so that if just walking doesn't give you a heart attack, you can try climbing hills. Displays show time, distance, calories burned, and, in the event of that heart attack, you can check your heart rate. I'm back in the craft room now, letting my heart rate take care of itself.

I finally got far enough up the leg of one of the slip-stitch design socks to try them on. The foot is great, fits perfectly. The leg is so tight it was almost impossible to get it on. I've decided the yarn is cursed, since this is the second time it's been used unsuccessfully. It will not be used again! I'm trashing it and putting the needles to better use.

The "Favorite Musical" swap in underway with the DramaticKnits group on Ravelry. I'm also doing a knit block for a group making a blanket for a friend who lost a baby last year, socks from a pattern designed by a knitter who is fighting cancer, and spinning a new braid of Merino wool. 

I picked up two quilt jobs yesterday, so I'll have to abandon the startitis and get them done in the next few days. Next week is quilt class on Wednesday, jury duty Thursday, and the Fresno Mardi Gras, Friday through Sunday.
