8 days of no blogging.

You’d think I’d have an overflowing fount of knitterly goodness to show off/talk about, wouldn’t ya?

Yeah, I’ve got bupkus.

Well, maybe a few things, but nothing all that interesting. Life, work, business ownership. It all kind of gets in the way of the fun stuff, know what I mean?

******************************

I think I may have finally gotten the Foliage bug out of my system, though. It only took five of them to do it. =)

And here’s number 5:

I also finished the back of the A-Line Vest from the new Knit.1 and I’m really torn/dismayed/pissed. I love the pattern, I love the yarn, I love the adorable style, but I hate the color inconsistencies in lots of hand-dyed yarn that are all labeled as the same batch.

Whaddaya think? Bearable? Horrible? Fugly? Ribbit?

I’m really reaching here, but maybe (just maybe?) when I wet block/wash it maybe the darker portion will lighten while the bottom stays the same color?

Hey. I didn’t say it was a reasonable reach. Just a reach.

And no, I didn’t alternate skeins every 2 rows. Yes, I should have. But I didn’t. =P

(Oh, and NaKniSweMo went out the window within a couple of days of signing up. My bad. Gauge issues. Since there’s nowhere near enough stitches in the vest to count in the KAL, I’m out.)

******************************

I’ve done some spinning, too:

Brewster

Green-O Merino

******************************

And I’ve started pre-drafting the Highlighter roving from Cabin Cove. (squee!)

******************************

I may or may not have started another, different, hat project.

I may or may not have started the sleeves to the Bulls Eye Sweater.

******************************

I guess I’ve done more than I thought! =)

Have a great weekend!
