Dead Blog?

OK, so I’m not coming around as much as I thought I was in my last post. My knitting time has been drastically reduced the last few weeks, not for any catastrophic reason, just life in general being busy. There hasn’t been a whole lot of blog-worthy knitting going on. I do finally, however, have a couple small finished objects to show off.

This is the Knit-round Scarf from Sally Melville’s Knitting Experience Book 1: The Knit Stitch:

I have had this project on the needles for over 4 years.  I started it while I was living in Japan (and the yarn is a very Noro-esque yarn called Diadomina.  I wish I had bought boatloads more).  I’m not sure why it ended up hibernating so long, it really is an easy knit, and the yarn is wonderful, and I’m very happy with the finished object.  I think the endless rounds just got a little boring there, and it got pushed aside.

I also knit up a Mitered Dishtowel from the 2nd Mason Dixon book, in keeping with my dishcloth addiction:

There are a couple ladies from my LYS who are knitting Clapotis as a KAL.  The idea is we’ll all knit one and then go out to eat croissants somewhere wearing them.  I really enjoyed knitting the first one, so I’ve decided to join them.

I’m also still working on the Jane Thornley Feather-n-Fan wrap, which means I now have a small pile of WIP’s all within easy reach of my corner of the sofa.  Not to mention the days are getting longer, and I have a bunch of DVRed House episodes to watch, so the knitting should be good.  Plus the MA Sheep & Wool Festival  is this weekend, which always improves my knitting energy.
