So I really want to pluralize cast-on as cast-ons, but I'm fairly certain it should be casts-on and I don't like that either. Sometimes the frenchified english grammar rules we have really don't sound right.
That's why I'm pretending it's more like moose/moose, one cast-on, multiple projects cast-on, yeah?
Either way, I did indeed finish my Heinz socks and immediately get the Necker pair on the needles. And my rebellion cast on is the Aethercopter by Jocelyn Tunney. It's another handful of balls from my "pending pile" bucket and it has the side benefit of being just a lovely color and perfectly suited for a friend. Tomorrow or Saturday, I'll get a first quarter round-up post written about the whole, Year of the Socks thing, and how many pairs I managed to complete in Jan-March. But for today, I'm weaving in some ends, looking at my WIPs, and planning my focus projects starting in April.
I've got the second sleeve on my sweater for V, this lovely scarf I just cast on, (of course more socks) and preparing for the Romi Hill MKAL that begins in April. I've got my yarn choices to wind, or maybe supplement, anything is possible. I've also got to get gearing up for my very own pattern release and test knit of a mitten pattern I'm calling Hare Tracks. And a draft of a headband pattern that I have about 5 samples done on.
My first love is knitting other designers' work, and I think writing patterns is a bit like writing everything else. I want to be a good knitter, a good reader, and a good writer. So I find myself putting the less fun parts of designing on the back burner... the writing, the polishing, the publishing, the testing. Anyway, one of my goals for April is to get those two patterns ready to publish.
