Check out what my mom is getting me for my birthday.  This sweater kit.  In these colors.  You will note that the sweater is shapeless and boxy.  I think this is probably for the best for my first colorwork sweater.  Besides, a nice big bulky sweater is a comfy thing.  I should be able to show you pictures of my work in about three years.

Because I spend my days stalking knitting prey across the internet, I will share with you other things I drool over.  Isn't this the most gorgeous rich looking sweater you've ever seen?!  It would take me five years.  Not to mention the $170 price tag.  Pre shipping costs from Great Britain. Let me assure you that I don't spend that much on clothes.  Of course, you also have to figure in the five years of entertainment from making it. And I have the feeling that if I actually wore it, it would wash me out.  But I love it.  Someday.

Another one I like is this.  This would be a 10 year project.  Plus the pattern doesn't come with the yarn kit.  You need the book.  Which is out of print.

But yeah, I'm boring.
