The month of August is not one of my favorites.
Reason numero uno? It has been TOO HOT TO KNIT.
Seriously, y'all. I have watched more CSI in the past week than in the last 6 months. Do you know how often they have those marathons on Spike? Watching TV is one thing that I somewhat enjoy that doesn't involve moving.
It's that bad.
Therefore, my Fountain Pen Shawl has been progressing slowly, if at all. I started the border chart last night, but I thought of those long rows and all I wanted to do was sleep. It may be back in timeout again. Even though I had intended to finish it for an event in may.
Although I haven't been doing any actual knitting, I have been filling up my Ravelry queue like mad. Normally, I'm not a big user of the queue. I don't understand having one that's 100 pages long, full of stuff that you might knit someday. I like to keep mine at about 2 projects or less.
But, the holidays are approaching. So in go the items I plan to make for gifts, that's fine. But it has been filling up with sweaters! I don't know where this came from. I fell in mad crazy love with Luminen, from the new Twist Collective.
It makes me want to drop everything and cast on right away.
Which is saying something, seeing as I'm nearly melted.
Ah, the power of a good sweater.
