Have answered the question of "Y." ("Because!"):

Have figured out Great-Grand-Mum's afghan:

Fetching!:

And finally, yarn!:

You have *no* idea how difficult it was to keep it under the resolved five skeins. I haven't ever seen Socks that Rock, at least not physically, in person. There was this one called "Kryptonite" that I just *had* to have. Only I had to have it slightly less than these other five. Five? Why did I choose five? So hard. But I did it. Nine days in, and I haven't broken the resolution yet.
And when am I ever going to get to knit these? NOW NOW NOW! No. (I am such trouble.) I'm telling myself that if I can finish those handspun socks (my oldest UFO) for Dulaan and one other project (knitter's choice), then I can cast on another pair of socks. Maybe by then, the urge will have passed?
In other news, Aran Knitting hasn't magically showed up. Working on the insurance angle now, although it isn't entirely clear that "theft off the porch, post-delivery" is covered. Am considering buying another copy, but maybe I should make some of those Dulaan Hats first, as a sort of a down-payment on the karma problem . . .
I like the chain stitch border thingy. Very nice:) Fetching looks nice, too. I am not real crazy about them, either. Guess I should finish 2nd one anyway, huh?

Now that's willpower ... if it were me, I'd have cast on some of the STR, just to make that it works right, ya know. ;-)
