Floundering

[knitpurlgurl]

I'm in a restless knitting mood right now. I've started the Forest Canopy Shawl and made a simple error (on the 10th pattern repeat). So as I was Tinking back, the kidlets came out on the balcony and started fighting and running all around my adirondack chair. I was so flustered - I messed up my tinking and ended up with 2 funky stitches that I couldn't figure out. And of course, being that the pattern is a simple lace pattern, I didn't see the need for a life line. So I started to tink back to the previous row and again was distracted and messed it up even more! NOW I feel stuck!

To make it worse, my l'il sis wants me to knit a slouchy hat for her and I haven't found one that I particularly like yet. I'm gravitating toward Crystalise (August issue of Yarn Forward) or Spring Beret - but am still unsure.

I have so many projects on the needles, that I have to buy MORE needles to work on the projects I need to start now..

UGH - I feel so ADD and flustered right now. :(
