another project??!!!

Somebody stop me! I am totally suffering from startitis, which is causing some pretty bad put-aside-is and not-complete-is! I wanted to practice continental knitting and so I just jumped in on my next project, a raglan sweater for me in Regia's 6ply Crazy Colors yarn (I'm calling it the Crazy Continental sweater). I'm hoping that the bold colors and crazy stripes will mask my tension issues. I'll have good tension for a while and then suddenly two rows that are wicked loose. But it's still coming out OK, with no distortions in the sizing or shaping and I'm pleased with how it looks.
Oh how I want to get back to Elizabeth, now untouched for a week, but I am determined to get this left-handed knitting down. And then after the two-color two-handed knitting class this week, I want to start right away on the Dale sweaters before my hands forget what they learned. But perhaps I can start slowly by making a real swatch this time. My severe startitis usually prevents me from swatching appropriately.
Maybe I need to see a knitting doctor who can put me on some sort of project diet!

Don't worry Alison, I'm exactly like you. Always finding good reasons to start a new project without finishing the previous one...
Which yarn do you use for Elizabeth III ? I'm going to knit it soon.
