A Knitting Affair

November 1 already. Where is the time going? I know, a redundant question, but one I ask myself often. Time seems to be going faster and faster. Mom tells me its because I’m getting old. Thanks moms.

To continue on the “lets finish this” kick I’ve been on, I have completed a project and also started/completed a project. Hold on to your hats peeps. What is this world coming to. Is she “really” going to stop overcommitting on her knitting? NO, you silly bunnies, I just have more I want to cast on!

This sweater took me three days to knit and I have worn it twice since I finished it. It is comfortable and not too hot even though I used a bulky yarn. The 3/4 length sleeves are the key as I usually push my sleeves up when I am hot.

I am going to start this new thing with my knitting where I focus on one project each month. I can still knit anything I want but the “majority” of my knitting time (aka 75%) must be on this one project. The project can be the focus of multiple months if need be. Hopefully this will help me continue to finish projects that I have started while still feeding my need to cast on multiple projects whenever I desire.

So I have been playing around with the layout of my blog. Maybe a new change in its looks will inspire me to write more, considering that this will be my fourth post for 2009. I am pretty lame this year with my posting. I keep saying that I will post more – but I’m not, so I’m not going to say it.

I have finished some projects this year and this post will be considered “the update” for 2009.

All in All life is going pretty well. I really like my job, Cameron is awesome and in grade one. Whitley is as goofy as ever. As for knitting I am working on my hourglass sweater. I started it a long long time ago, put in bust darts, didn’t like them so threw it into the wip pile until I decided what I wanted to do with it. I decided to rip back to the darts and reknit that portion. And, since I finished my Central Park Hoodie and Clapotis I allowed myself to start the Tree Jacket in black malabrigo.
