I’m humming along to a Jack Johnson song right now which is where I got the title…

I’m about three inches of ribbing away from finishing the SC. I’m finding it hard to stay motivated. Is this stupid or what?? I mean so friggin close and yet I’m starting to eyeball other projects. So, I WILL, MUST be done and able to wear this sweater on Saturday in NJ. Meaning that I must block it Thursday night.

I need help deciding what project I will cast on for this trip to NJ on Friday. So listen to the choices and weigh in please!!

1. The Leaf Lace Shawl - Fiber Trends - Rowanspun 4-ply in Hansel: I’ve only got half of the yarn needed for this project. I’ve located the other half but am waiting on a shipping quote before I purchase it. The shawl would be specifically knitted for use with this dress and the green yarn matches the paler green of the leaves perfectly right on down to the tweedy aqua bits matching the blue bits in the dress. See this picture.

2. Hourglass Sweater - Last Minute Knitted Gifts - Classic Elite Renaissance in Valencia Orange: Valencia is a soft tweedy orange wool. I’ve got 12 skeins (priced at $5 each? Who could resist?) weighing in at way more yardage than needed for this sweater and frankly, it’s such a flattering knit, who could resist!

3. Silk Camisole - Last Minute Knitted Gifts - Adrienne Vittadini Teresa in a smoky blue: It’s the exact shade of my eyes on a day to day basis. I’ve heard that the Fiesta La Luz called for in the pattern pills a lot. I don’t like pills on my handknits. It’s an absolutely elegant little top and I’ve got a feeling that it will be a quick easy knit for a long boring flight.

So, my question is this… besides the socks I’ve been struggling with for my mother, which of these large scale projects should I bring?
