Progress Report: January Aran
February 4, 2012 § 2 Comments
Here is an admission. I haven’t shown much of my January Aran sweater, because, frankly, there hasn’t been too much to show. I am knitting at what is, for me, a positively glacial pace. I have just about 12″ to show for a month of work.
There are so many other irons in the fire– both knitting-related and not– that I haven’t found the time to devote to this.
I’m still pleased with it, of course. It’s just so much easier to crank away at a project when the pattern’s laid out in front of you, instead of waiting to be invented.
It doesn’t help that the weather’s so wretchedly warm, and that I recently re-inherited about 10 of my old machine-knit sweaters from middle and high school (hand-me-back-ups, I guess they are). I’m certainly not motivated to want another sweater, beautiful and handmade or not.
I haven’t given up yet. But this one’s definitely on the back burner, and may very well spend most of the spring there.
stitch by stitch, row by row, you will get it designed and done!! Looks great!
Thank you, Fran. I just have to keep reminding myself of that til it’s done!
