I don’t know about the rest of you knitters, but it seems as if I always finish a few projects at the same time, so then I’m left with - “What now?” I end up with the knitter’s blah. Proud that I’ve finished a complicated project (the Botanica Medallion - see a couple of blogs ago) but also feeling a funk. My “funk” usually stems from while, in the evening, I’m sitting next to my DH (dear husband) listening to his snoring in front of the TV and I’m staring at my hands just laying there, in my lap, not doing anything. (see idle hands below - Can you tell what I’m watching? - Hey a little garbage TV never hurt anyone!)

So I watch a lot of reality TV. My favorite show (I mean - one of my favorites) is Project Runway. Which inspired me to run to Wild Purls (okay - I know I work there!) and purchase some very soft Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande and knit this alpaca cowl. Mila Hermanovski (on this past season’s Project Runway) had one very similar in her final collection, but I doubt she knit hers!
I liked it so much I knit another one.

P.S. If you like this, I know where you can get the pattern.

P.P.S. While I’m typing this, I’m listening to “Cash Cab”. I love that show.
