I am truly sorry. I understand that my recent reluctance to pick up the needles has completely emptied my karmic knitting account and that I must atone for my past misdeeds and lack of proper worship. I have taken steps to whip my WIP basket into shape.
First, I bought some new needles.
That's a 16" US 3 for Hubby's Hat. I'm going to double check the fit and switch to the new needles later today.
This is for the body of the Blue Baby Sweater for a co-worker. I hope to have it cast on by the end of the week.
Second, I have been working on the Oatmeal Knucks too. I finished the first and cast on the second, knitting like crazy so I could give them to the recipient (my sister) when I saw her yesterday. I finished the fingers, started the hand, added the thumb and was about 10 rows from starting the cuff when I ran out of yarn. Being an intrepid knitter and trying to avoid wasting $10 and several hours of tracking down another ball, I frogged the first cuff to finish the hand of the second and scrounged through the stash for yarn to finish the cuffs. What do you think?
This is the second incarnation of the cuff. The first had the pale orange next to the oatmeal and the charcoal as an edge. Hubby and I decided this looked better, so I am re-knitting the other cuff. These will be finished and blocked today, then mailed to my sister.
Finally, I understand these are only small steps and more atonement will be necessary to regain your trust and respect. I promise to view my WIP basket as inspiration to knit, rather than an excuse not to.
Your humble servant,
Andrea
PS- Would starting my Christmas Knitting help?
