I can’t tell when the chicken got here.

Yarn Harlot - Sat, 06/27/2026 - 13:39

I have been fighting the world’s worst case of startitis for a couple of weeks now. At least a couple of times a day I find myself wandering over to the ball winder and swift, sometimes even with yarn in my hands. I’ll think to myself that all of my problems would be solved if I just cast on a new project… a fun project, a fast project, a project that’s going to be different than all my other projects and then I’ll suddenly snap to my senses and plunk the yarn down on the piano near the swift and exercise every ounce of self discipline I’ve managed to grow in my life and walk away. (There is getting to be quite a pile there now.) The canopy of the stash – that uppermost layer that is made up of recently bought yarn or yarn that’s surfaced from the depths because I think I’m going to use it soon… that layer is no longer just the icing on a yarn pile or the garnish on a shelf of stuff. I’ve rootled through it like a wild pig hunting truffles so many times looking for the exact yarn for the perfect project so many times that it’s like someone took a giant shaker full of yarn and sprinkled it round the place. It is yarn chaos.

There are two skeins of yarn on my desk, waiting to be a Ranunculus because I saw the one that Ann knit in a yarn that I just happened to have the yarn for, plus Ann said it was fast and I thought “Oh I bet it is” and the next thing you know I’ve got the yarn in my hands and I’m drifting to the winder again. The next day someone complimented a yellow top that I made a while back and I remembered I had some grey (and blue) and could make another one (or two) of those. That yarn’s on the piano. (The blue is in a basket by the tv.) There’s sock yarn everywhere, stationed around the house like I’m throwing a party and they’re the canapes. There’s a sweater’s worth in a bag by the back door. Yay verily I have even ordered more yarn in a desperate attempt to scratch the itch, and as I type there’s a rainbow themed project sitting right beside my laptop and I was just telling myself that it would be stupid not to start (and finish) that right now because it is Pride, after all. If not now, when?

Now, normally I don’t fight back this much. The urge comes over me to start something new and I go with it. It’s not a moral victory to control that urge, it’s not like I believe that good people are monogamous knitters and bad people are… me. Knitting is my passion and it makes me happy and if I can’t indulge in it whenever and however I want then what’s the point? It’s supposed to be fun. Cast on whatever you want. Do it. Do it now. So.. why am I resisting?

Meet the two projects I’ve promised myself that I’ll finish before I start anything new. This here? That’s Elliot’s Birthday sweater. Yeah, yeah his birthday is in early April. Usually if i wasn’t feeling a project I’d set it aside, come back to it later – but Elliot’s asked after this sweater, sweetly inquiring if I’d finished it yet and that sort of affection for knitwear should be rewarded. We’re trying to build a certain kind of person, one with a respect for the textile arts and if the kid wants a sweater, I believe that the grandmother code dictates that I have to knit one – and before he outgrows it while it’s still on the needles.

The thing is… I hate it. Don’t get me wrong, I love the yarn (Double Sunday) and it’s a hoodie with a dragon on it so I really dig the idea of the finished sweater too, but I am so not grooving on the intarsia that it’s been sitting in a bag forever. When I started it was like it always is with a new love and everything that is intolerable now was charming then. The pattern’s only in french? J’adore. Fantastique. I’ve been meaning to practice anyway. Who needs Duolingo when you can knit in french? There will be a million ends? No problem, why else am I on earth but for that? Time wore on, the back flew and then the dragon got me. I started setting it aside for longer and longer periods and the more I did that the more complicated it seemed to pick it back up and spend three minutes figuring out where I was. Anyway- last week Elliot asked if I was almost done and the guilt washed over me like a wave. (Especially since I’ve just finished a sweater for me.) I’m done the front and back, I just have to visit Sleeve Island and wander the wastes of Hood Holm.

It’s better than dealing with this – the argyle socks that were supposed to be my May SISC pair have made little progress. (See the way I blame them there? Like they’re the ones who don’t have it together?) These were started promptly after the dragon sweater even though I had already started to remember that I don’t love intarsia, never mind intarsia in the round which is a complete pain in the arse. I’ve restarted these three times and I’m not any happier with them. I know now it’s that I’m using the wrong yarn – this is a vintage Shibui sock yarn from … oh, 20 years ago? At the time of the purchase I remember wondering sort of absently if I’d like a superwash 2-ply for socks and it turns out that suspicion was valid. I don’t like it at all, but I feel like I’ve made a commitment to these socks. I’d like to say that I’m no quitter but I sort of am, especially when it’s something as unimportant as whether or not I finish a pair of socks but somehow I’ve decided that this is a hill I’ll die on. Not only are they not finished, I’ve let them derail my June socks as well, since I was supposed start those when these were finished and well. You see where we are. I blame the yarn and the knowledge that this is what happens when you’re not true to yourself. I knew how I feel about superwash 2-ply for colourwork. I (mostly) remembered how I feel about intarsia. I dwell now in the land of regret, but I’m going to dig myself out. Soon. Right now I’m leaving now to go ride my bike 100km (I am behind on training for the Bike Rally) and I’ll write about Team Knit in the next few days (I am behind on that too.) If you were contemplating a donation today would be a great day for that.
