Thankyou to everyone who left birthday good wishes. We’re still making our way through the cake, one rich delicious sliver at a time.

Lately I wonder how I ever used to find the time or a good subject to blog nearly every day. None of my three wips are at a point where a photo would be worth taking. Which one I work on depends entirely on what sort of knitting I can manage, and sometimes I’m so zonked I can’t manage any at all. I’ve taken a project on at least three car trips but instead spent the entire trip just gazing at the scenery, simply enjoying having time to think.

Projectwise… the Diagonal Stitch Cardigan body is complete up to the armholes for the back and up to the shoulders for the fronts. The first Hedera sock is still only a few cm long. The first Quick and Dirty sock is a few cm past the heel. I’ve played with the shaping, but I won’t go into the details until I’ve finished and I’m satisfied with the result.

Reading materialwise… I found Interweave Crochet yesterday at, of all places, my tiny local newsagent. They also had the last IK. It’s strange how they’re so low on the newsagent heirachy that they get IK weeks after it’s available elsewhere, but they got IC at the same time. I wonder when the holiday issue will appear – if it does at all. Anyway, this IC is a good ‘un. Some nice garments in there.

Stash enhancementwise… nothing new. Hmm. I really should email the shop that was ordering in the yarn for Tomato for me. They said it would arrive mid-October.

And finally… For cat lovers, go watch this animation. I laughed so hard I cried.
