Knots and Tangles

Having a job, I've found, really puts a knot in one's knitting time!

Knitting as a diversion

To sum it up: No, there isn't (a light at the end of the tunnel... at least not yet). 'Nuff said.

I've decided that I have knitting ADHD. The Obodoh scarf is still in process (the kiwi bird design is completed and I've managed to weave in all of the ends, and it actually looks pretty decent...) and I have "odoh" and part of the "b" knitting in. However it is rather frustrating, and again I'll reiterate that knitting intarsia in the round is not so fun. So that's the sort of project I pick up occasionally, but is not one that I yearn to sit and knit away at.

While that is going on, I also have the damned second purple glove, which is so very close to completed yet I just got bored with it (and seeing as though it's 85 degrees and humid, I'm not exactly thinking winter these days). So it's still "in progress" but on the backburner, for sure.

So to occupy my (as of today, again) unemployed and worried hands and mind, I have started the Picovoli by Grumperina. I'm using KnitPicks Shine Sport in "Violet", with number 2 circulars. I have just gotten through most of the raglan increases (it's knitted top down) so no interesting pictures yet. So far I love the feel of the fabric, so soft. And the color is nice too. I hope it fits!!!

Pictures to come... first I have to find my desk under this pile of stuff. What is this stuff? Where does it all come from?
