Oh oh oh what have I done!!

[poking messy head out of an entangled mess of yarn ends, spitting fiber out of mouth, pulling an odd piece of straw out of ear and looking frantically around]
I left a comment on someone else's blog, with a link here!
Someone might actually come visit. And this place is so barren, you'd almost expect to see them rolling dried thorn bushes (can't even get my vocabulary straight for the potential visitors! Arrgh!!)

I know how this will end. I know. I will just stand there trying to assume a nonchalant position, leaning casually against a wall. When BAM! The whole thing falls down on me and a quartet of animated songbirds flies around my head.


I rather do what many a living predecessor o'mine did, which got me to where I am today:
Run and hide! RUN and HIDE!!! (Any relation to Rincewind? Hmm. I wonder...)
Oo! GotTa gO! ADioS!!!

Cozy Boatneck Sweater

The pattern suggests using

• Blue Sky Alpaca Sport Weight (100% Alpaca, 110 yards/50grams) 1 skein each in Red #511, Turquoise #532, Paprika #531, Chartreuse #527, Purple #529 and Amber #519)
• US size 6 (4.00mm) and size 3 (3.25mm) needles. with a gauge of 5 stitches per inch on the size 6 needles.

I'm using US size 7 needles (4.5mm) and Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Terracotta, Lake, Taupe, Lime, Charcoal and Maize accordingly.

Wish me luck! :)

Unraveled and changed to Pattons Classic Wool Merino.

===Update===

This sweater is zzzooming out of my hands!
I'm not spending too much time knitting, and I've already finished the back and some of the front. It's a matter of days.

Happppy!

I really loved picking the colours. It took me ages to find the combination I liked, and eventually I am not terribly pleased with the sequence I decided on (I mean, I think that the order of the stripes is not optimal, but the colours are really excellent) anyway, I decided to live with it and not fret over it. (Did I mention how much I hate unraveling?)

Youngling is sleeping, so I can go on knittin'!

The life and time of my Cozy Boatneck Sweater from Itty-Bitty-Nursery by Susan B. Anderson

The Daily Haiku Log

In search for baby.
One hand short and one hand long.
Hate unravelling.

We are raw-foodists
We just returned from Outback
We're funny that way.

Children are so great.
But who gets to knit at all??
Or sleep, honestly.

Big stash is normal
Every knitter has one, right?
No place to sleep though :/

Something I'm good at
If I need to name just one
Procrastination

Only circulars
At least they are not alone
When I'm losing them..

Bought me a new book
With many coloured patterns
Instantly lent it. :(

Bought me some new yarn
Then got into Ravelry
Shame. Can't knit and type.

A loving mama
The sweet life in pajama
Nitsan. Knits nits nuts. :-|
