I can't believe it's been three weeks since I last posted here! It's been a pretty busy month between work projects and lots of PT to address my longstanding arm and hand issues, but I have been doing plenty of knitting as well!
I work from home three days a week, but the other two days I need to be in the office, which is always freezing! I have a cardigan I keep there, but some days it just doesn't cut it, so I decided to make a second, heavier cardigan. Here we have some Wool Ease Thick & Quick in good old moss stitch. I have the back and both fronts finished, and just a couple inches left on sleeve number 1. It's been a great project to work on while reading and watching tv, and hopefully it will be exactly what I need on extra-cold office days.
I've also made significant progress on the back of my striped pullover. This month I learned that we have a knitting group in town, and I've managed to go twice so far. The people there are great, and it's been wonderful meeting some people in town after living here for a year and a half. This is the project I've been bringing to knit group with me, and even though I've done more chatting than knitting, it's moving along at a good clip.
I think I'm going to make lots more progress over the next sixteen days as I sit in front of the television to watch the Olympics. I'm definitely a winter games person, but there are still several sports I like watching during the summer games.
What is it with offices always being so cold? It seems especially cruel in the summer. I'm sure that sweater will get a ton of use. And like you, I will be spending a lot of time knitting in front of the TV the next couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteI at least understand it in the winter, because the delivery door is constantly open, but it makes no sense in the summer!
