**This is a photo heavy post**
I'm getting really desperate to cast on Semele. The yarn has been ready for months now and my fingers are itching for a pattern that doesn't involve turning a heel (more on that after the jump). This is what's on my project page in Ravelry:
Originally queued: July 25, 2011
Project created: January 28, 2012
Hibernating: May 14, 2012
See, this has been waiting a very long time. I was hoping to get started this month, but it might not happen. Damn.
One of the things I like most at Madeline Tosh Merino Light is the fact that its a beautiful spun single ply. Right now, I think I'm just in a single ply moment; some of my favorite yarns to work with have been single play and Maddy is up at the top.

I also have another pattern hibernating, yarn ready, waiting for me to release the socks.

| Tess's Designer Yarn Petite Silk |
is very ready to become this

when I finally release the socks.
So why haven't I released the socks? Well, I'm a very competitive person and actually winning prizes has done NOTHING to help that situation. What's more, I'm now using Sock Knitter's Anonymous and Solid Socks for my own little sock improvement tutorials. While I'm getting nowhere learning to knit faster, learning to knit multiple socks Magic Loop two at a time (ML 2AAT) is now pretty easy. Thank you, GoodReader for iPad!
So, what have I knit since my last post? (insert evil laugh).
