Working hard...
Busy busy busy these days. I’m finding no time to knit between work and various meetings after work. Then when I do turn back to my knitting, every single project seems to be a long green rectangle. I really need to start those knee socks… but the only yarn I have enough of for such long socks is currently undyed. So that means I have to soak it, dye it, dry it, and get to the yarn shop to wind it. (Won’t they love to see me coming to use their winder for 200 grams of sock-weight yarn that I didn’t buy there?!) Hmmm… it might just be easier to buy something new – I noticed the LYS got some solid Lorna’s Laces in for fall.
The weather is starting to turn a little cooler here, although it’s certainly not “fall” yet. It’s been in the mid-80’s during the day and the 50’s at night. Fall is my favorite time of year – I just love the cooler weather, the trees turning beautiful colors, and the crunchy leaves swirling around the lawn.
I’m feeling the need for a quick, “instant gratification” fall project. (knee socks are probably not too good for that!) I know once a reach some kind of “landmark” on the Cambridge Jacket I’ll get a little more excited about knitting it again… I guess I just need to buckle down and work on it. My husband’s birthday is closer every day – gotta meet my deadline!

Oh, Reporters. Yuck. I say buy something new :-) You deserve it for all that work you're doing. Yummy knee socks.

I have an idea. How bout a Perdita (the beaded cuff from Knitty)? It's quick, and you can probably use some stash yarn for it, so then you're entitled to new sock yarn :) And if you don't wear, mabye you can give it to someone for Christmas (like I do with my projects I don't wear ;) )

What about a hat? Odessa without the beads?

How about Fetching or Voodoo fingerless gloves both from Knitty? One of these days I have to try the balls of Lornas Laces that I have in my stash for a pair of socks. I hear that if I love Kogiu, then I would love Lornas.
