Startitis Strikes Again

I have a major case of startitis.  I am working on a scarf, a third spool of bison, our bedroom and the poem, a shawl, and then right out of the blue (no pun intended) I got the idea that I should spin this...

Isn't it pretty?....

I love this fibre. It is merino.... well, it's called Optim which I think is merino that has been stretched using chemicals. This particular Optim has a little Tencel blended in for fun. It is turning out to be absolutely gorgeous when spun and looks like this.....

I think I will weave and I mean really weave a scarf with this stuff. I have a very fine heddle for my rigid heddle loom so I think that I will go that way... but then maybe Iwill rent a loom from the guild and use a 4 harness loom.

See what I mean by startitis. I see some lovely new fibre and that's all I've got in my mind..... suddenly all the other projects that I'm working on have drifted away across the universe and here I am with thought of divine blue.....

It all started with this....

I saw this picture on APOD the other day and have been dreaming blue ever since....

I even got out my beads and looked for some blue beads that would coordinate with this to make the blue scarf more appealing.... yeah.... serious staritis.

Why oh why can't I ever get finishitis!
