I began a new project on December 25. I finished knitting the main pieces on January 1. 26 hours of round-trip driving time does wonders for one’s knitting progress:
The pattern is Haute Luce , the cover sweater from Anny Blatt book 197, Fall 2006. I am using the same yarn shown in the photo. I think I like how the sweater is turning out, although there were some adjustments and I am still holding off judgment until I see how it works out in the end.
Meanwhile I am eager to get this finished, and eager to start my next project, but I cannot until this dries. If I start my next sweater I will not feel like coming back to this one, and another project will go on the UFO pile.
In an attempt to find a quick knitting project, I pulled up the two extra skeins of Tahki Donegal Tweed remaining from Rogue and cast on for a cap to donate to the children at Morse School in Poughkeepsie. I am embarrassed to say that I have done no Morse knitting this year and I am sure they will need caps eventually, there are still several months of potential winter ahead.
I have not been inspired and the cap seems to be progressing interminably. I suppose it is really only that I want to finish the other sweater and am not in the mood to wait. I have so many things I want to knit I don’t know where to begin but I steadfastly refuse to start to many simultaneous projects. This is only the path to UFOs and frustration.
