Concentration

So you would think I got a lot of ribbing done yesterday. I mean the vest is looking great and I would be all inspired to finish it and get it done so I wouldn't stress myself out trying to finish it before Christmas, right?

What? is this your first time visiting my blog? of course I didn't work on it at all yesterday.

I must admit part of it is the storm that arrived last night. I was smacked with a nasty sinus headache all day. The concentration that I need to pick up stitches (one of my least favorite things to do with knitting... right up there with weaving in ends) meant that it was simply out of the question.

So I was productive. I finished playing Psychonauts (third time) and I worked on a Project Linus blanket. I'm using the Caron Simply Soft Brights. It's a very cheery afghan. If it cheers me while I'm working on it, I only hope that the child that receives it will be as cheered. Oh and I made carmamel popcorn (which I had no business making and even less eating).

So like a lot of us, we're snowed in a bit today. It's not terrible, only about 5" right now and it's supposed to stop around noon. Enough that I don't need to go anywhere so I'll stay snuggled in and work on some projects... I guess that will include the vest. At least get the stitches picked up for the neck. Once that's done, the ribbing is easy, but oh how I hate picking up neck stitches.

So we're down to a 16 knitting days before Christmas. In some ways, that's actually not bad, in others, that's not a whole lot of time (especially if you have to count mailing into the equation).

Okay... let's see, if I pick up my stitches and set the ribbing pattern, I can then work on anything my little heart desires? Project Linus blankets or Marilyn or maybe start a pair of felted slippers?

Happy Knitting!!!
