clearing the decks...

I decided to go ahead and make the Somewhat Cowl, after typing in the name on Google and seeing dozens of references pop up, including some people who said it was their first sweater. So I went ahead and got the yarn, and I am going to pick up the needles tomorrow (couldn't find the size DPNs I needed at the yarn store today) In the meantime, I am clearing the decks, working on other projects that were stalled that I really don't want hanging over my head anymore. I guess it's a general "getting ready for summer" and especially summer knitting.
