Bad Knitter

I did it... I cast one for something. I now have 5 WIP's on the needles, one of which is 5 mins away from being finished (!!) Another which needs to be sent out next week and is only 60% done.

The new project is the Knitty Talia vest from Spring 08 issue. I mainly wanted to do this one as it looks flattering on every single person who has knit it. I think I did one row of the lace pattern and decided that I wanted a quick knit and have just continued in Stockinette stich, I will be putting in the garter waist row just to give it some structure. I'm using Naturally Harmony in the dark brown. I bought 2 skeins ages ago and when I realised that it was the correct ply for the vest I went and bought some more. I'm knitting it on 5.5mm needles and knitting the S size, fingers crossed as I didn't do a guage swatch (I will only slap my hand if it turns out the wrong size, untill then I am soldiering forward in the blind belief that all will be ok)

Normal Sunday morning here, drinking coffee, watching a Coldplay special on Video Hits, and idly looking at wedding stuff. I was going to go to the beach today as it was predicted to be 37 degrees here today but it's 22 at the momnet and cloudy so will stay in and get through the WIP that is only at 60% (if I can put the Talia vest down)

Missing the Archaeologist, especially in the evenings. I didn't even change the channel when the sports came on out of habit.
