So, now that I’ve mentioned Cast-On withdrawel, Brenda has uploaded another episode. Cool how that works, huh?
I’ve been procrastinating all morning (and babying myself after a migraine attack yesterday). Haven’t done anything more useful than playing chauffer to DD#1. Been working myself up to cast on Calla, a beautiful tank top from the late, lamented MagKnits which I found on Ravelry. There are some great pics of it on the Same Knit Different Day blog. It’s been a while since I’ve had two projects going at once, but Haruni’s tiny lace stitches seem like a huge challenge while I’m still headache fogged. 
Waffling about casting on yet, I’m still thinking through the mods I want to make. Do I really want all those rows of eyelets, or should I turn some to twists or cable braids? I’m pretty sure I want the back plainer than the front, but not sure how much plainer. I won’t even worry about the neckline/straps until I get close to them, but the basic cable pattern I should plan out before starting.
Calla looks like a cute little top, nice choice!
Thanks, it’s a pattern I’ve been looking at for a long time. Just lots of choices to make, but I have the yarn bought and ready to go.
I do that too (get caught up in mod ideas) before starting a new project, sometimes I get so lost in the things I want to change that I don’t get started until days after the initial idea.
Oh I feel for you, I too get migraines and totally understand how afterwards you dont feel like doing much. And then driving kids around wastes alot of time even though the kids dont think so..
Choosing a pattern to make for yourself can be hard especially when your shape isnt model perfect (refering to myself). Then choosing the perfect yarn is hard again.
