It's Here
Not going all the way and not starting.

It's here. The post-Olympic startitis. We all knew it would be coming sooner or later.
You know what I'm talking about, right? Casting on project after project, knitting a few rows, a border or two, maybe even a whole repeat, but then always moving onto the next thing. Happens every now and again, right? (This, by the way, is my greatest defense of my stash. How else can you start a new scarf at 2am?)
So what have I started?
- Ann Norling's Strawberry Hat in Sugar and Cream cotton
- Friday Harbor socks from Knitting on the Road in Mountain Colors 4/8 Weaver's Wool
- Trellis from Knitty in bright red Cotton Ease for a baby boy due this May
- Reverse Bloom Washcloth from Weekend Knitting/IK
- the second Checks and Charms mitten to match this hat

It's struck my house too - so difficult to resist!
You keep odd hours.
How often do the rest of us need to start a scarf (sweater/cardigan in my case) at 2:00am ;-)
I have actually discovered that the Knitting Olympics seems to have instilled a new sense of discipline in me. I have several things I really want to start, but I made myself first devote all my attention to the reversible rib shawl, and now I'm entirely focused on whipping out a baby sweater that I was supposed to be finished with month ago. I'm sure this self-discipline will wear off, but I'm trying to make the most of it for now!
Looking forward to seeing the group photo.
Hee hee - I'm fighting the same thing here. Fighting. Fighting.
I have the same problem following the KO, but I'm beholden to one pair of socks because of a deadline. As soon as that's past, I expect to have several new projects started.
Show us, please!
I've got the startitis, too, but have managed to control it somewhat, only 2 new projects and one swatch (Trellis, incidentally).
But all those projects are so cute! How could you possibly choose just one?
Just think, start a bunch, have lots of variety to work with, get lots done!
Or not - LOL!
