Needling my Conscience

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

In the wake of the upheavals the last month has given me, I would have expected more progress being made on my knitting, rather than less. Unfortunately, no such progress was made. Instead I have watched a lot of television (mostly old movies on Turner Classics and Ice Hockey) and did precious little stitching.

As a result, the Clapotis still sits on my needles, though it is at least in its final stages. Once completed, I’ll be certain to post a picture of it. It’s begun moving forward now, as things slowly fall back onto their prescribed tracks, and I am chugging along towards completion (albeit later than I had ever intended.

I haven’t let my lack of progress stop me from thinking about what I’ll be working on next, however. Likely, there will be a pair of socks in my future, as I can work on those without a lot of counting or brainpower on my part. Though I admit, for a year I’ve had a lovely bit of yarn that would be just perfect for the Venus de Merino. Everyone needs a little knit Goddess figure to keep the hearth happy and safe. With luck, the dark part of the year will see faster work for the old hands.

It’s a short-shrift this week in the potpourri department. I blame the hectic nature of my glamorous life.

(See? Glamorous!)

Without further ado:
