okay, okay...i hereby promise to be less, ahem, tardy with my blog posting. or, at least i'll try. when last we spoke i announced my employment at webs, which has been my great preoccupation as of late. I literally dream yarn day and night. i work with yarn, i come home to search Ravelry for yarn and patterns and dream at night about stocking and stashing. if before i could not be verifiably obsessed it is now very noticeable to the outside world. i may as well be branded, wear a scarlet Y, it's official and damning.
as far as knitting goes i've been tangled up in work for webs: swatches and now a full vest. all for the glory of store credit. it will likely be followed by hours of hand wringing and circling about the store stroking yarn and mumbling to myself. it won't be pretty. my indecision is boundless in the name of books and yarn.
about a month ago i signed up for the ravelympics hastily and without great foresight to the consequence. for those who are not familiar with such an endeavor i will explain. ravelry, the great online community, hosted a contest of sorts to finish "events" or various fiber related projects for the duration of the olympics. i signed up to make an intricate tweed sweater for my girlfriend (i know, i know, curse be damned), despite my aching wrists. thankfully my joint pain has abated, but only after the time of the contest has passed. sigh. i gave it a good try.
pictures of projects will follow, i promise.
