oh look, it’s August

So what am I up to lately? Not a whole heckuvalot.

As usual, my knitting is crawling, the summer is crawling, and I don’t feel like I’m getting enough done. It’s the same sorta stuff, so I’ll refrain from whinging about it.

No new knitting or crochet finishes to show, because I’ve actually been breaking up the knitting time with (GASP!) things like reading and housework. When you recover from that completely boggling news, come back and see the pics.

Been working slowly on a Ganseyish sweater for Cian. Using some information from Beth Brown-Reinsel’s Knitting Ganseys book, and some Plymouth Galway Highland Heather.

It’s a nice, leisurely knit actually, and if I weren’t the type to always be wanting to finish and move onto something else, I can see that it’d be worth savoring. If you’re the savoring type, that is.

I deliberately left the sweater home when I went to Sit n Stitch last night, so I could put a little work on the sock that I have been neglecting horribly for what must be months now.

I also have a scarf that I haven’t worked on all week. I’ll get it done at some point. I like it, even if scarves aren’t my favorite thing to spend time on.

That’s about it, really. It is odd that I don’t even feel like knitting more today. Instead I think I’ll go read. Mmmm.

    I’ve been sucked into bookland as well. So far it’s been about three a week, and the knitting’s truly languishing on the needles. Viva la page! ;)

    The Gansey is looking great. Curious to know what you’re reading that is drawing you away from the knitting!
