Startitis has hit me again. I want to start everything except of course exercise. I want to use all of my new Wollmeise yarn and now that I am finally reading Knitting Rules, I am inspired to make hats. All of a sudden I want to make hats for everyone for Christmas. I have 7 WIPs, which can't be true. I am not actually working on all 7 at the moment, but they haven't become UFOs just yet. Plus, I have 13 UFOs. 20 items in progress!
I am mostly focused on the Hitchhiker. My goal is to end up with 42 teeth. I currently have 32, almost there. Of course each row is getting longer and longer. This is the first time that I have used Wollmeise and I love it. Now I want more.
With my unorganized self, I have the 7 WIPs sitting next to me in the living room, but I don't have enough project bags for all of them and so yarn is getting a little tangled and messy. I really need to get organized.

Rewards
I have finally come up with a plan that I think will help with many things. I want to change my self rewards from food, stop my impulse buying, and work on my Weight Watchers plan. So I came up with a tracker to keep track of certain goals. I got this idea from watching the Sock Bunny Knit and Fit podcast. After I have completed 30 days of exercise I will be able to purchase some Wollmeise yarn, after 30 days of tracking food I will be able to purchase a project bag, and after reaching the 10% goal a new spindle. I will come up with different things for different goals. So far this is keeping me on track for tracking food. I have printed the tracker so that I can look at it which helps.
The only trouble is that I haven't started the exercise part. I don't know why I have such an issue with that.
Works in Progress:
Ever since I finished Camp Loopy I have been wanting to finish projects. I touched a few of my hibernated projects. I touched my Noro felted bag, a cabled scarf, and Oliver's baby sweater. I also started and finished a scarf.
Before I started the above reward tracking, I bought some Wollmeise yarn and started a Hitchhiker. I had purchased some before, but haven't used it yet. Now that I have been knitting with it, I want more. So that is why I assigned it as the reward for exercising.
Future Projects:
I want to start many things, but I am trying to limit myself otherwise I will end up with a million UFOs. A citron KAL is starting next week, Sock Bunny is doing a doily CAL/KAL, and my friend showed me a few patterns like LazyKaty.
Finished Objects:
I finished a few of my old projects that I started a few years ago: a baby hat and a crochet afghan.
