One of the good things about this blog no longer being exclusively about knitting (and other fibre crafts) is that I don’t feel under pressure to finish things so I have something to blog about.

However, I’ve gone a bit in the other direction. The lack of urgency to take a photo of the last FO, along with it being too hot to contemplate putting on knitwear, means this one is a bit late:

Bramblewood in Naturally Naturelle. I ran out of yarn at the end of the second last repeat so it’s a little shorter than the pattern says, but it’s still a comfortable length. I like it, but I’m not as enamoured as I am with the Argyle Vest. The shoulders are a little wierd – why bother with the raglan shaping? – and the neckline seems very square in person. But otherwise it was a fun knit and made a nice, wearable garment.

The Ivy League Vest is going slowly. I’ve passed the ribbing and done a few rows of the pattern, but lately I’ve been too restless to sit and knit of an evening. Instead I’ve been working on book binding projects and testing book cloth instructions.

Speaking of which… I’m having a productive weekend, with one book finished, another 95% done and materials coming together for a third. But if anything, production is being held back – by the one thing I haven’t been able to get hold of yet: white linen bookbinding thread. I can see a trip to town in my near future.
