Blueberry Season

I am tired this evening, bone-wearily tired, and I want to do nothing more than curl up and knit something pretty, but I will probably fall asleep before I have gotten far.  This has been the course of my life lately and who I am to argue, only to knit. 

I've been playing with these yarns, a pretty accumulation of colors and textures, and knitting well suited to my current state of overwhelm.  Best not to have a meticulous pattern in hand when one is distracted or tired, or perhaps even both. 

You can see how it is knitting up as well. Destined to be a long, slouchy sweater, this is being knit in one piece from the bottom up.  Slouchy because it will not have the structure provided by side seams, a structure I normally like, but in this case, with these yarns, this is the preferred approach.  Knit on large, size 13 needles, I will soon be far enough along to separate this at the armholes.

One more picture.  This, because I opened another mystery box from the L'Atelier mystery blanket knit-along this weekend.  I finally have enough yarn to start the blanket squares! (Yay).  Included was also this set of yarns for a sweater.  Near the knitted piece you can see the blue and the wine I was currently knitting, next to the assortment of new yarns.  A perfect pairing.

Now if only I can stay awake long enough to knit.
