Not much knitting going on...

Due to unhappy wrists and fingers. but soon! If only because i'd rather lug finished pieces around with me when i move instead of bags of yarn. Sad hands don't prevent one from scheming, however. I declare Notes On A Scandal to be the knitting movie of the year. A bold move, i agree, but i doubt it will have any challengers. Have you seen it? Cute knits galore.

Slow goes...

i decided not to try to change the neckline decreases to accomodate my short row gauge. i'm just going to hope it's close enough for blocking to work out. before coming to that resolution (perhaps a cowardly one in itself), i had already chickened out, abandoned thinking about the neckline, and started the back ribbing. i think that bumps me up to, mmm, 25% done.

First things first

This project's been hanging out (either in my mind or on the needles) since december. i know! ridiculous! It's "Candystripe" from The Elle Knitting Book, edited by Sandy Carr. Published in 1984. The book's pure hipster gold.

I think it's pictured in cotton, but i'm attempting acrylic. and of course my row gauge is off, so i'm going to adjust the neckline decreases (new territory for me).

Whew. feeling more motivated already!
