How many is too many?

So, not content with the 3 projects already on the needles plus one or two other types of projecty things hanging around, I decide that today I absolutely must, yes, MUST buy the pattern for Heroine and cast on. Immediately.

I fell for this coat and fell hard. Quite some time ago I bought just a few (well, maybe one or two more than that) skeins of Lamb's Pride Bulky in Roasted Coffee. I had grand ideas of making myself a knitted coat that would be slightly felted of my own design. Well, that coat never happened. It's still in skein form.

This yarn wants to be a coat. Every once in a while a sad little whisper will emanate from it wondering when it will be its turn to come out and play.

In a while, I'll say, as soon as I have to chance to work up the pattern which will, of course, be really great and exactly what I wanted. And felted. And cool. Then those people from Twist Collective went right ahead and posted the pattern. I know that the designer says Jennifer Lippman-Bruno but that is quite obviously a typo, and this is really my pattern.

I'm quite excited by this project. And, so is the yarn. It told me so.
