blunked socktoberfest
(That was supposed to be "flunked," but blunked sounds just fine, too)
Officially flunked, as it's now Nov. 5. And you may notice there's no Sadie blankie in my FO's. The good news is, I'm very close on that--maybe this weekend? I could post a picture now, and say it's done--because I have finished the front--but I am an honest girl, and it just wouldn't feel right.
I am literally itching to take up another project! I taught a colleague to knit on dpn's this week. She's making a Christmas stocking in Cascade 220 as her first project in the round. I thought pretty canny: no second-sock syndrome. But I could hardly keep from snatching it and knitting away--she was really picking it up quickly, and that made it look so fun I hungered for it. But we have to remember: nann is working hard to finish what she starts, and it is a noble fast from new projects.
Part of the reason I flunked is that my two jobs--counseling and training--have both been operating at high pitch.
I wore Faina's Scarf for the first time yesterday! It's been torrential rain the last week, and cold, and yesterday was a Maroon Friday (spirit day at my work). It was good to have her back in my hands again, I've missed her so! She really blocked nicely, and the fabric is very fine and light.
Harvey has been awaking at 4 a.m., wanting his breakfast. It is crazy making, but it has helped immeasurably with my NaNoWriMo novel (won't be blogging THAT--just another exercise in proving I can finish things). I have a couple thousand words to catch up this weekend, so with that and S Blankie and regular Saturday/Sunday errands, I should keep me hopping. If I don't fall asleep in my lunch.
I'm looking forward to adding a couple of WIP pictures next week, along with one very belated FO.
