I realize I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been busy!
Classes have been insane this semester, but are starting to wind down (one last weekend of crunching!). Work’s been crazy too. Also, new boyfriend (Since February) that I’ve really been spending a lot of time with. And lately… knitting. I can’t stop!
I’ve been working on EZ’s seamless hybrid, and the miles of mindless st st have been excellent. The best part? I’m knitting this for said boyfriend, but he doesn’t know it. For some reason he thinks it’s a skirt. I love being sneaky. And yes, I know all about the Sweater Curse, but you know what? If the worst happens (which I don’t foresee happening at all) the sweater would totes fit me (I’m knitting the 40” size… sweet!). A slim boyfriend is all a knitter could want.
Recently, I noticed that I hardly have a single picture of myself from the last 3 months. Plus, all of the pics taken of me have been in bars. Not cool! So I decided I want to start the Flickr 365 project. My friend Jane said she would do it with me. I recently signed up for Weight Watchers (again) and I think it will be a good way to track my progress, too. So… that’s that. Here's 365:1 (weird ceiling fan pic):
Since my last post, I’ve finished knitting the Hanna cardigan (from cocoknits). I bought this sweet shawl pin on Etsy, and thought it made the perfect fastener for the sweater:
I also knitted Habitat for the boy (woo, that was a fun/complicated knit):
Started knitting Ysolda’s Ishbel (with some KDG hand-dyed farm wool, which I got from Lancaster Yarn Shop):
Started and abandoned a pair of Nutkin socks (love that colorway! It’s Amy’s Vintage Office from Lorna’s Laces):
And finally got myself some KDG yarn in mustard seed, which I promptly knitted into a scarfy:
P.S., I totes dropped the ball on MDSW this year again. Last year, same issue: broke. A yarnie festival is the last place I want to be with no money. I know I should be able to enjoy an event without having to buy anything, but in this case… nope. Not possible. I know I would have just been pissy about being broke. So next year… yeah, I hope it works out next year.
