What’s on my needles

Rogue: Yep, back on the go. I’ve done the waist shaping and am moving up through the neck. It goes quickly but as it’s cabled I need to concentrate.

Tubey: is gorgeous and below nipple length, which is a plus!! But $&(&&%*&#(*(@@@! I have another foot or so of 3x1 ribbing to go. It’s mindless and perfect for uni knitting or for rehearsal knitting but it’s now a bit big for me to stuff into my backpack, so home it stays. I love the colour and can’t wait to wear it this Winter.

Cozy: again, lace is not the kind of thing that can travel with me. Which is a shame as I like it but it may yet be frogged and repurposed.

Vest: needs to be frogged and redone in something that I won’t want to scream over. It may be a good uni project (although really, I’m on holidays for the next couple of weeks/months so that’s not an excuse!)

Secret cardigan: Can’t tell you where it’s from but I’m flying through it - in two days I’ve done the collar and am halfway through the yoke. Boring uni lectures have something to answer for! It’s being knit out of the stunning yarn that Osk bought me in Japan last year and it’s lovely. Photos to come when I charge my camera battery up.

Clapotis: still going. Again - it’s too big to take to uni to work on! And I feel guilty if I knit at home instead of studying.

Feather and fan shawl: OK so really I should just finish something, huh. I have finish-itis perhaps? I’m a process knitter!! What more can I say? Except it will be GORGEOUS when done. But I’m going to have to buy a new needle to continue this project - I’ve reached capacity already.

Socks: various Tofutsies, monkeys for me, and bed socks. I don’t like knitting socks it seems. Which is a shame as they’d be good at uni!
