Is there such a thing ?? Too many needles?? I don't think so. I do however have a few projects going that I do intend to complete before casting on more. I have a pair of Kaylee socks going that I just cast on last night. I also have a pair of toe up Jaywalkers going and I am still going strong with my swirl socks. I am going to cast on again my BSJ (Baby Surprise Jacket) due to my gauge not going exactly how I want it to go. I think the yarn I am using is a bit small for this project so I am going to try a different yarn and a different set of needles. At the rate I am going right now that BSJ will probably only fit a preemie which if it does will be great because I can donate it but I would like to keep my first one. I'm going to frog it tonight and restart due to being at a stopping point on the Kaylees. I am only at row 5 but I cannot understand the instructions for it so I will be taking it with me to the LYS in Macon next Thursday for some further instruction on how to do the center.
Speaking of the LYS in Macon, GA which would be Creative Yarns. They are having open house on May 22 from 5 pm to 7 pm. They are having sock boot camp all that week to help new and more advanced sock knitters with what else socks! I unfortunately will not be able to go to it all week so I decided that I would treat myself to an early birthday present and take off of work just about an hour early so that I could make it.
The job is going great still.... I'm still trying to convince this girl at work, Kris, that she is knitter but she still refuses to allow me to teach her. She admires my socks in progress and always comments on them. Then another another one that is going to be working within my department as soon as we find a replacement for her told me she bought her first set of needles this weekend. I was so happy for her. I told her that if she needed any help I would be more than happy to teach her anything that I could. She aims very big too -- she wants to make an afghan for her first project.
Thankful:
1. I am thankful that my cousin loved my great-aunt Mim's shawl and decided to keep it for herself.
2. I am thankful for being able to spread the knitting bug.
3. I am thankful for the great mother that I have.

Too many needles? Nah. If we were supposed to finish one project before we start another one there wouldn't be any reason for them to make more needles. Knitting Needle makers would be out of work. The economy depends on us to have multiple projects on needles. :)
