You know what?

Even though I said I "had" to finish at least one project before starting something new, I am so totally casting on a new project tonight to reward myself for making it through this day.

I wound off some yarn last night...the Northern Lights yarn for the Lepidoptera mitts (and it looks even better wound up - I do not think it's going to pool in an ugly way, but rather maybe "sparkle" a bit - dark background with brighter flecks rather than brighter blobs).

And I kept thinking about the Cauchy socks (yes, named [indirectly] after that Cauchy) and how I wanted to make them but didn't have yarn in mind. So a hunt in the stash boxes turned up a skein of Dream in Color in a medium blue ("Deep Seaflower") that I think would be very nice for them. (Also, I just LIKE the Dream in Color sockyarn; it's pretty and it knits up well). So I wound that off.

I'm getting closer-to-done with the Angee socks (from the same book as the Cauchy pattern, which is why I was thinking about it). Maybe not before break, but they will be done soon.

I also wound off a couple of skeins of Happy Feet in a greenish-brown colorway. No pattern in mind of yet, but when I was getting the Dream in Color out of the box, I wound up disturbing them and made the skein "separate" (come out of the twist that it was wrapped up in) and from past experience, I know that leaving a skein in that state can mean that it's very messy to wind up later on.

I also dug out some screaming pink yarn and the Traffic-Stoppin' Boot Sock pattern. I've been wanting to do this one for a while but never quite decided on a yarn, but I think the brilliant pink (and it really is, it's almost Hello Kitty pink) will be "right" for it.
