I'm still knitting away on the Heliopath vest. I am thirteen inches into the body and have been in that black hole where I knit for hours and make absolutely no progress. This may also be due to the fact that every time I sit down to work on it I feel an overwhelming need to take a nap, but I still argue it is a rift in space and time.
For those who were admiring the stitch markers last week, I bought them here.
Because I finished my purse project but have yet to feel the need to lug a cabled sweater around with me I cast on a pair of Cursed Cable Mitts in my special skein of Knitter's Nightmare -- Ducky and Andy.
These mitts are going so fast! Admittedly I am making them a tad bit shorter, but they are already a tad baggy on my hands and I wanted to avoid the scrunch factor when wearing them with a coat. These have gotten me through several hours of convention speakers and been quite useful for the "I'm stressed! I'm just going to knit a row real quick" moments at work.
To see more works in progress, hopefully with less procrastination and stress, check out Tami's Amis!

I like those stripes!
ReplyDeleteOh man, looks like I'm going to have to pick up that HP issue! The vest looks great.
ReplyDeleteOooh, a quickie project is a great balance for seemingly "no progress" projects.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for all my TV shows to start, so I have something to watch while I knit some endless stockinette projects. I luuuurve Once Upon a Time.
The stripes on your mitts look amazing. I love the color of the vest. Your projects seem to be balancing each other out which rocks, I am a firm advocate of having a large project and a small project going on at the same time.
ReplyDeleteam fascinated that anyone would think knitter's nightmare would be a good name for a yarn one wants knitters to buy? but it seems knitter do buy it. Fascinating!
