Whoops! Sorry. I mean it, now. So here's my second Cap for Connor -
Second verse, same as the first! I'd like to knit a third one, but frankly my elbow feels like it's on the verge of blowing a gasket, so I'm going to take a break for a couple of days. Probably. Oh no, I'm feeling withdrawal already. Not...knitting...zigzags! Aaaugh! *breathes into paper sack*
So I've spent the last couple of days thinking about what I'd like to knit, if I ever stop knitting zigzags. And I have come to a conclusion that seems very strange, even to me, and I've gotten used to the fact that I tend to think very strange things.
I want to knit complicated things. Stuff that's really, really hard. The sort of project that has me leaning forward in my seat, clenching all clenchable body parts in fear that I will make a tremendous huge mess out of it and have to rip back a considerable distance, or even start over. I'm looking at socks and shawls with elaborate lacy patterns, and the gloves on the cover of the current Piecework Magazine. And of course the Mason Dixon Ladies' beautiful Cardi Cozy, which is worked in Rowan Kidsilk Haze - by all accounts, a maddeningly hairy, thin, clingy yarn which does not like to be ripped back.
Why yes, I did find some Kidsilk Haze. Not in London, sadly. That's just wishful thinking and an awesome tote bag.
There are Juno Regina and Seascape to consider first, though. (Whoa! There are a couple of names I haven't said in a while! I should be ashamed.) And a third Connor Cap, as well. *Zigzags!* Oh, and a novel in progress.

Be brave! Be bold! Attempt it all! Why? The answer to that question can most elegantly be summed up with a quote found in Kittery, Maine:
Figure out what makes you come alive and go do it. Because the world needs more people who have come alive.
Rock on, Peachy.
