How to tell that the heat has melted my brain: I’ve decided that I’m going to finish my #26 page 44 Lopi sweater (what a sexy name) that I started in January (it had to sit in time out because I knit the sleeve cuff pattern too tight, couldn’t get my hand through it, and that, among other things, led to a breakdown, but we’re good now), AND knit a second Lopi sweater before I go to Iceland in September. Normally this would not be quite so crazy but I also have a shawl and at least one, maybe two, sweaters to knit for work projects before the middle of September (so, before I leave for Iceland).
Send coffee, and let me know about your most crazily ambitious plans in the comments (they don’t have to be knitting related, I just need to know that I’m not alone).

I’ve had the idea, and the yarn, for about five years now.
That will be awesome and I am glad that I am not alone in my insanity. 😀
[…] a couple of weeks ago, I confessed my insane plan to knit a sweater and a half before the end of August. I’m almost done with the first! Sure, […]
