Chronic Project Identity Crisis!!!!!!

Why can't I ever just make something! Ggggrrrrrr. I decided I was going to make a felted laptop cover for myself, but of course I can't just leave it at that. Oh no--6 inches, 1600 miles, and 36 hours later my humble laptop cover has magically morphed itself into a theoretical purse. (In reality what will probably happen is I'll work on it until I run out of yarn or get bored with it. Sigh.) My indecision and lack of follow through in my knitting life is far too accurate an epitome of my actual life.

Maybe I'm being too hard on myself. I was stuck in Beau's truck the whole time, just knitting and thinking. Is being open to evolution even that bad? Isn't making things supposed to be fun for this exact reason?


Whew. Okay, now that I've worked through my personal knitting issues, lets talk laptop cover:

Here's what I have so far: 130 sts in the round in worsted weight on a #10.5.

I'm afraid that i was too impatient with my color changes and they won't show up (or show up and be ugly) after felting. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. That's supposed to be the fun part after all, right? RIGHT??!!
