I was sitting here, obsessing about what I was going to knit next, (and next, and next and next) and I started thinking about my Starnkeeker cardigan which has been resting since mid-may.
I've decided I want to go full colourwork, including the sleeves (basically a Tirdaigh, also by Kate Davies, same stitch count, so I can change horses mid-stream). I'll need to work out how much more yarn I need, but I know I can buy that from the Purl Box at the Bendigo sheep and wool show (in two weeks!). Now, as discussed, Starnkeeker is not really suitable for public knitting. I just realised, looking at my queue, that after I finish my current jumper, the Stephen West Surprise Sock Knit-a-long and some squares I'm contributing to a communal project, the next three (possibly four) projects I have planned are fantastic for knitting in public. So, I'm going to buy the rest of the yarn at Bendigo, and make a concerted effort to knit this at home (or at work on my lunch breaks), because I think it's going to be a very pretty jumper, really different from anything else I have and worth the effort.
