knitting inertia

i'm really really trying not to start a new knitting project right now, but i'm feeling the pull.

i've been working on a lace shawl, but i stupidly picked one that is made with a cobwebby-like mohair and silk yarn and it's very ssssslllllooooowwwww going. so i may have to put it away for now and do something mindless. of course, i have a couple of mindless things in progress (socks, shawl in the round, etc) that would be great to finish, but no, i'm looking through my yarn and trying to find a new additional mindless thing to knit and then lose interest in before it's finished.

i'm such a dork. it's a good thing i haven't attempted a sweater yet-i would NEVER get it done.
