18

And so the day has come. My baby is legally an adult. 18 years old. Good Lord, I feel old.

(Poor picture with bad lighting, all apologies!)
I'm so proud of the wonderful human being she is. But I'm still not sure that I'm ready for her to spread her wings and experience the world!

Happy 18th birthday, Emily!

Project unMonogamy

So usually I'm pretty good at project monogamy. I like to have a pair of socks, a garment and one other project going at a time. Otherwise, I'd have a hundred projects on the go, and nothing would ever get finished. I know myself far too well.
Lately, it's starting to fall apart.

Ages ago, I started a pair of stripey pink socks. September of last year. The first one is done. The second is started. But somehow they fell by the wayside. Then SS62011 started, and I did the Shitygal socks, and have now started the Nutkin socks.

So I've sent the Akomeogi socks into hibernation.

Then, a month ago I started a new cardigan. I need a basic black cardigan for work, but I didn't want anything too boring. Enter the Camber cardigan.

It really is black, forgive my camera. Black Wollmeise laceweight. I'm an idiot. A month of working on it, and this is as far as I got. What was I thinking? Limited knitting time, and I decide to knit a cardigan in lacweight yarn. I.d.i.o.t.

So to counteract the pain of the laceweight, (which between us, has been shoved to the very bottom of the knitting basket) I cast on a new cardigan.

Funny how much quicker a cardi for a tiny baby is! It's for a workmate of David's, whose wife is expecting their first baby. Debbie Bliss Baby cashmerino, which I'd forgotten how much I like!

Now I feel like I'm accomplishing something!
