On your mark . . . get set . . . BLOG!

Okay, not as impressive as NaNoWriMo, but I did unofficially sign up for NaBloPoMo. This being the first of the month, I’m obligated to write a post. And this being a knitting blog (mostly), I’m obligated to tell you what I’ve got on the needles.

Let’s see . . . looks like Jack Shit.

Yes, I have *no* works in progress right now. Wait, no, that’s not quite true – I do have an Einstein Jacket in progress for a friend at work! I haven’t touched it except for a few idle moments since before Rhinebeck, but it is there.

And guess what? I finished a cardigan like a month ago, and I still have not blocked and assembled it. I am slacker, hear me slack.

I’ve got two projects percolating in me though – a Christmas present which I feel I can talk about here because I am 99% certain that the recipient does not read my blog, and a stole. Specifically a Hanami, to be done in some black and red silk I got in the recent Yarn Crawl. I don’t usually go for really popular patterns, but I really love the way the Hanami looks.

Yikes, my boss just saw me blogging. Gotta go.

    Hanami is in my queue, but I have no idea when I’ll get around to it. However, if you need knitting, I’ve got plenty of WIPs you could help out with….

    well how do you expect to show off at Madrona if you don’t truly finish that cardigan, hmm?

    The next pattern/project you create…please name it “Jack Shit”. Then we all can knit it, and we’ll all be knitting Jack Shit. Or we can have a ShitAlong. Or something.

    Okay, AmpuT – in your honor, the next pattern I come up with will be officially known as the Jack Shit . (Probably kilt hose, but you never know.)

    Now where’d I leave my towel?

    The Jack Shit is going to be an awesome pattern! The Ravelry queue is already forming.

    Has your boss left the room yet?

    Love this site – found you through Yarn Harlot. I would LOVE to knit Jack Shit, too, so count me in!

    From one slacker to another – I have 2, count ‘em – 2, projects that need to be blocked and assembled. A charming felted (well, not felted yet, see how much I slack?) purse and a sampler stitch cardi. We should declare a day in the future as “Finish WIP” day and just get it over with :)
