yarn-along

Happy yarn along day everybody! If you want to join in, visit Ginny at Small Things. Post a picture of your current read and knitting project. Please fell free to share your link here too.

I again have little to report on both fronts. I'm still reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma. I've never taken this long to go through a book. I really think it has something to do with this little boy who is on the go! He can now pull himself up reliably and will start cruising any day now I'm sure. I'm still chugging away at this vest. These rows are soooooo long! I'm getting very bored to be honest. I think I'm loosing sight of any end to this thing. When will it be finished?! I'm even starting to think it won't fit. It looks too big. I thought I would appreciate all this garter stitch, and I did.. for a little bit. I'm dreaming of my next project.. something a little more interesting. Like this or this or even this. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on the day) I pick up my CSA box at my favorite yarn store. I'm especially looking forward to it today. I hope I find some inspiration.

  2. It is hard to knit when you get bored with a project. Maybe you just need to set it aside for awhile, knit something else, and then come back to it.xx

  3. We had a kitty that looked just like that when we were first married! Love it! Boring knitting is not fun knitting... hope you get over the hump soon!

  5. The Omnivore's Dilemma took me a while too. In fact, now I am wondering if I ever truly finished it??? Love the colors of that vest, it's going to be adorable!

  6. Aw! Love your little buddy there. I agree with Tracey -- put it down, work on something else for a bit, then come back to it. You just need a little break I think.
