Nothing much has happened of note lately; I feel like I have knitted quite a bit, without actually having finished much. The sweater is an endless source of frustration and ripping back, for no good reason – it’s just ribbing, for chrissakes! I have a pattern and a template sweater to work from, but I can’t seem to focus and am desperately drawn to lots of little side projects in a gambit to feel like I’ve accomplished something. Meanwhile, it is getting cold in Germany and my boyfriend is running around sans two sweaters, while I have finished a scarf and a mitten for myself:
Simple ribbed scarf made out of some Noro Transitions I bought on a splurge (hey, closeout at yarn.com! There’s still a bunch left, that I am soo not going to buy. Really.
Close-up of scarf. See how soft and fuzzy and…ooh?
Heading to Chicago for a couple of days, which is putting even more of a delay on the sweater, as it’s a bit impractical to lug around the yarn and the half finished sweater, and to have to try and lay out the template sweater in the car every now and then to see if everything is matching up. So, I’m just going to work on the other mitten and call it good.
Yes, I know, worst knitter girlfriend ever! On the bright side, I definitely will have this done well before December (knock on bamboo needles), so I can call it a really early Christmas gift, as opposed to a ridiculously late going-away present. Hopefully he won’t be completely frozen by the time he receives it.
Gratuitous cat photo-op.
