I've spent the past week getting back into my normal routine as well as preparing for my next work trip. I have one trip coming up very soon, and then two more trips before Thanksgiving, but they're all just one night, and I'm doing my best to make them as low-stress as possible for me. In the meantime, I'm focusing on having lots of good food in my apartment, including these incredible royal corona beans and kielbasa in broth, which I've been eating for the past few days.
I haven't knit much this week, but I have been knitting! I have a list of projects I want to get done before my first wrist surgery in case I'm not able to manage knitting during recovery. I have a sweater vest that's almost half done that I'd love finished, and I have one xmas gift that I managed to get a quarter of the way into during conference sessions last week.
I also have this sweater vest, which I finished knitting a couple weeks ago, and is just waiting for buttons. While I've known how to do the brioche stitch, I've never actually finished a brioche project before. I was happily surprised at how smoothly it went—I only ran into issues with shaping the upper fronts, and I had to rip back and re-knit each side twice, but that was probably more due to the gin sodas I was drinking while knitting than my own inexperience with brioche decreases. Obviously, I need to sew on buttons, which will take less than ten minutes once I sit down and actually do it, and I'm really looking forward to having this vest in my wardrobe!
I hope the remaining work travel goes without incident and then things calm down for you! Like you, I find it hard to be out of a normal routine and like to be home.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I found travel less stressful, because I can certainly see why people enjoy it! Alas, the world needs homebodies too!
