These are finally done. The easy but a little too boring socks. I do like the yarn much more than I thought I would though. Tofutsies. Pink. Nuff said. Nice and cool for summer!Now, back to the topic at hand, peer pressure. You know, I have no shortage of projects that I would like to do. As I am slowly adding my stash and projects to Ravelry, I am noticing that I have gone, perhaps, just a titch overboard. I hate to admit it, but it seems to be true. So, there is absolutely no reason for me to add more projects. Because all of my stash- well most of my stash has an intended project and when I look at the piles and piles of yarn I can see that I have a lot of knitting to do. So yes, I signed up for Summer of Socks. Fine. Just for fun. Use up some of my sock yarn. (of course I have bought a little more, well maybe a little more than a little, since I signed up!) See, now I want to use this...
Nice, no?Can't decide on a pattern though. Thelonius? Embossed Leaves? I was supposed to cast on Midsummer Day. I am late.
Then, more pressure. I had seen a while ago that lots of people were signing up for the Mystery Stole 3. I had actually signed up several weeks ago thinking that It looked like fun, but then felt completely inundated by the quantity of e-mails that were landing in my inbox. Ack! Too Much! No, no, no. But then, last night, Jeni mentioned that I could sign up to just receive the special announcements. and that I should do it. And others are doing it too. Oh, who thinks of these things! Brilliant! I can do it.
So.Now I have yet another project to cast on.
Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that I signed up for this also. Awesome idea. I have the yarn and the pattern. Just need to cast on. It shall be big. Due September 1st.
I'd better be off, gotta go cast on.

I tried to stay away, but I got sucked into the MS 3 vortex as well. Emy too. We're going to have to take a picture of all of the Boba MS3 knitters and their beaded stoles!
I can't explain why but I signed up for MS3, too. I joined on the last day of sign ups. I don't have the right yarn. I don't have the right beads. I'm immediately two clues behind. And I wanted a little lace shawl break to focus on socks and sweaters for a while. Even getting the "digest" e mails is rather overwhelming. I'll probably switch to special announcements only, like you mentioned. At least I don't feel left out. And the stole sure looks pretty so far... Yup, clearly I'm easily distracted, too.
I hear you about the peer pressure. That is the whole reason I even started knitting socks--now I wonder what took me so long!! as for MS3, I was safe. I'm a lace clutz, no can do.
