My knitting has stalled lately. I've been sewing up my huge chunky jumper and it's hard work. And I finished off one of my toe-up socks, but none of the stretchy cast offs that I've tried (all two of them) have been stretchy enough, and then the sock didn't seem to fit right and Mr Spanner said he'd rather have a hat anyway. So I have to decide if (a)I'm going to keep this sock as it is and make the second one the same (b) rip this one back to before the heel and reknit shorter (c) frog sock and knit hat instead. Hmm.

I'm thinking of making Marnie Maclean's Pismo hat. This should be ok with Regia sock yarn I think.

I'm back to wading through socks. I have no proper projects planned and I don't like it one little bit, but at the same time there's nothing I have a hankering for.

I've lost my mojo too.  I'm still doing my cable jumper, which is taking ages, and the shrug that I started last November. It takes me too long to do anything but I don't know how to speed up. Now I'm doing the sleeves for my jumper and it's just k2, p2 rib which is so boring. And I haven't even been knitting for as long as you two, so really I've got nothing to complain about. |

Rib does get tedious after a while.
Sadly, the pismo hat is not to be, as apparently a plain stocking stitch is preferred to rib. This is fine by me. I cast on a Carlsbad hat last night using a tubular cast on method, it took aaaaaages. So fiddly. Looks good though.

I have regained my mojo! After maybe 5 months of knitting bugger all I am back in the groove and loving it.

Yay for Badger! Knitting is a much more productive way to spend NYE than drinking and snogging strangers and feeling poorly the next day.  |

I'm going to finish Cold Mountain either today or tomorrow, and then I can buy the yarn for Gytha and knit socks while I wait for it. I'm on two out, one in. The Professor is after a jumper too. I've been knitting socks and silk scarves for frigging ages now. Knitting group is pretty good for getting through sock yarn though. Socks are small and mindless enough for pub knitting, and the pub is entertaining enough that I don't get bored by the sock.

Yep. I'm tempted to go back and see if I can get another salesperson who is ignorant of yarn value.  |
