twiddling thumbs

Here I sit waiting for my Knitpicks Options needles to arrive. I don't want to start a new project now because I will want to try out the new needles as soon as they arrive, so casting on with other needles now is just asking for a quick slide into WIP hell.

(pause here for a spot of twiddling)

So I've been chipping away at some stuff already on the needles. I finished a plain preemie hat yesterday and will finish an adult hat today, both for charity. I am now halfway through the lace scarf and am having an awful time with my raggedy cuticles snagging on the yarn (Rovings Polwarth/silk fingering). I have two lace shawls hibernating, as Ravelry charmingly puts it, and will move on to them should I finish everything else before the Options get here.

(twiddle)

They were shipped a week ago today so they'll likely be here soon.
