WIP away

Well, i don't know what's got into me but i am flying through the knitting like nobody's business!

The Foxy Blanket was finished on Monday morning after a mammoth knitting session on Sunday when i managed to knit 6 balls of Foxy in one day! That's the most i have managed since i started knitting it and all i can now think is "i could have knitted it in a week if i were more disciplined"!!
Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk an all that, it's done now! The strange thing is though that i am left with 23 stitches on the needle and i should only have two or three. My conclusion is that because i knit looser as i speed up i have used more yarn than i did in the first half of the blanket. The solution would be to rip it out and try and knit a bit tighter but that just ain't gonna happen!! :oD
My plan once the Hairy Blankie was finished was to cast on a shawl. I really want to knit Crow Waltz but i am struggling with my yarn choices... I picked out Cherry Tree Hill in Earth and Sundara sock yarn in Cherry Blossom but once i had made them into yarn cakes i wasn't sure it was the right decision so that's been put on the back burner while i decide what to do about it. Instead i have decided to finish some pairs of socks. I've had several singles hidden away in the WIP corner for some time now (one has been there for 3 years now!!) so i've pulled out Zopfwanderung to work on while i decide what to do about the shawl. I had already made a start on the ribbing and since Monday afternoon i have knitted half the ribbing, 69 rows of pattern and half a heel flap :oD
I am really hoping that if i concentrate on it today i might just get it finished. If it's not today then it'll be tomorrow anyway! I just really wish i had this enthusiasm all the time instead of having weeks at a time when i can't knit or don't feel like knitting. Why don't i feel like it? I love it! It doesn't make sense and it drives me to distraction when it happens. How can i fall out of love with something so often?!
