I am also a knitter. Right now I have a Fisherman sweater I'm making for a friend. It's the classic off white wool. I can't leave anything well enough alone either. I don't like all the fill-in seed stitch so I always add another cable or something unique. Knitting helps when I think I can't sew another stitch. It's nice to have a fall back hobby. Unfortunately I have way too many fall backs! : )
