August 2011 Wrap-Up
April: 1083 yds
Kittens, I have been an awful blogger this month, despite having content to write about. I’m currently waiting on some better pictures to share of a project, but for now, I’ll share 2 new WIPs with you. Not on Wednesday, because I was too busy then. The Mister’s schedule is making things difficult, and I’ve been sucked into a silly (and frankly, pointless) island resort game as a diversion.
I’m currently at a halt on this while I figure out where I want to go. I do not quite want to make it a blanket, not stuffed like it is. I am torn between a pillow, and some sort of crazy, awesome chair cover. I think my brain has been eaten and I’ve lost my mind. That seems to be the theme for this month.
It’s a sock. I haven’t worked on any of these since the beginning of the calendar year. Toe-up. Self-striping. Cable rib detail on the sides. So much to love here.
Wow. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a WIP post, kittens. So long I had to pull up a 2011 calendar online and count out which one today is.
As mentioned in a recent blog post, I finally picked my cardigan back up. Last night I reached the point where I will alternate skeins before starting the next. I am pleased to say that I have two full skeins left and it’s looking like I can definitely make the cardigan long enough. With pockets. This is great. Sadly, the internet can not properly communicate my happy tone.
I’m even daring to be optimistic enough that I may have enough yarn left over to undo the sleeve bind offs and make them a wee bit longer. I can live with them at this length, but even a few more rows would have been preferable. I doubt I’ll have enough yarn to get an extra 1″-2″ in each sleeve, but that’s life. If I can avoid having to pester the one other owner of this colorway, I’ll take it as-is.
Oh, kittens. July ended up being not-so-good for knitting after all, but you already knew that with the lack of blog posts, didn’t you?
Well, I managed to eek out one more week’s worth of blocks, kittens. So while I did not catch up a bit with the QAL, I didn’t fall too much farther behind, either. I’d call that a mostly win.
Have I mentioned how much I love fussy cutting? Or this pony fabric? I love them both, and I’m hoping to feature ponies in future blocks. If perfectly honest, I love all of the fabrics in this block.
