I have been in that funk lately of not being able to make a decision in a normal, precise way. So much so that I keep finishing projects because I can’t decide what to cast on next. It’s a good thing, just not like me. Partially my problem has been allergies, I mean kick ass yucky, nasty, goopy allergies that are killing me! I can’t take anything with diphenhydramine in it because it makes me feel half drunk & narcoleptic no matter how small the dosage. So that leaves me with the loratadine meds that don’t clear out my sinuses period. So i just sneeze continually, blow my nose continually & don’t wear makeup due to the fact that at any given moment my eyes will itch like crazy & my eyelids will puff up out of control. So there you have why I haven’t been posting, I can’t concentrate.
I laid aside my 4 sweaters I am working on to make myself & my man some socks. Of course he promptly went out of town for the weekend with the socks so I don’t have a picture of his, but here are mine!
Easy, fast woolease on size 4’s. The ribbing is a 3x1x1 pattern. Simple yet so comfy & really, really fast!
I am feverishly working on the camping sweater for my man as a surpise for when he gets home tomorrow night. I have half a sleeve, the hood & then the assembly which is going to be a real pain in the butt! I have to sew the pockets down, sew all the seams then machine sew in the zipper plus do the i-cord for the hood. We’ll see if I can accomplish all that in the next 36 hours. Tracy is spending the night so it’ll be plenty of knitting time well into the wee hours of night. I wish I had more knitting pics to show but I just haven’t been taking pics of knitting, I have been too focused on the apad pics. Which I feel have been lacking in creativity lately.
Oh & I finally got my secret pal 6 info. Way excited about that! All that I get to send will be fab! I am in a gathering mode at the moment. I am hoping that she will want one big fun package near the end so that it can be a huge “voila” moment. If she wants smaller packages along the way of course I am cool with that too. Honestly I just hate having to go somewhere to mail packages, I am a procrastinator like that!
The only decision I have made (and it was made at 1:30am while I was trying to fall asleep) was a relatively easy one. My next project I am casting on for is going to be a black cardigan of my own design using the 1000 sweaters book. I need a black cardigan so very badly!! Every time I leave the house I reach for it but alas, I do not have one yet. And I know I could buy one but why when I could just make the exact style I want. I hate settling for something that isn’t exactly perfect when I could just make it!
Okay off to knit! Wish me luck on finishing the camping sweater!
