I missed working on a mindless stockinette jumper project where I can knit endlessly in the round with a good movie or the quick gratification of sock knitting. I missed swatching and discovering how a new yarn feels and the excitement of starting a new project. It was frustrating when I settle down in the evenings to the same two projects.
Well, now I know, I'm a knitting junkie and loving it! So here's Cozy in Bendigo 4 ply cotton.
Remember this ? I've decided to recycle and spent the best of today unravelling months of knitting.

DH knows this strange behaviour all too well, but daughter YL can't believe I could bear to take everything apart. Maybe it's not such a good idea doing this in the presence of people we are encouraging to take up knitting? It'd scare them off for good!
Surprisingly there's very little wastage and I should be able to knit another jumper with the yarn.

Sometimes the project startitis bug hits real bad, doesn't it? But I think that's better than the I don't feel like knitting bug!
The blue grey yarn is worth saving, it's a lovely shade. Good speed on Cozy.
