I am in a mini funk.... I think. Last night I didn't want to knit this doesn't happen, I rarely ever watch TV without knitting at the same time. I saw whole commercials that I had only heard before and never totally seen. Who knew.

Dscn0334 I did knit a few rows of the Madli at lunch though and hope to knit some tonight as well. I am hoping it is more about the projects I am working on Madli is to a point where you do the same 10 rows 31 times. I am about a 3rd done with that piece and all but.... Also cutaway is to the boring knit straight stockinette until it measures 11.5 inches. I don't even have far to go to the get to the 11.5. Any who I am sure I am in alarm for no real reason and all will come storming back.

It may a general funk, I need a serious break from work, I am burnt out. I am counting down days until this weekend, a 4 day weekend. A possible day off on the 7Th and then another 4 day weekend on the 14Th. I can make it until Friday, right?

Dscn0337 The picture of cutaway is even boring. It may be my doom that I tend to like clean simple patterns to the busy aran's and ones with ton's of cables.

I am hoping to slowly catching up on pictures of my knits. Since the last post was heavy on links and light on pictures.

The 2 projects getting most of my attention are the Estonian Lace Stole, and the Tahki Boat Neck Sweater. I ripped out the stole over the weekend and started over so there isn't much to take a picture of. So I present the front/back of the Boatneck:

062507_029The yarn is Classic Silk, by Classic Elite and I love this stuff, this is my second sweater in the yarn so far, and I already have more for a 3rd sweater.

Next up hopefully a more completed picture of the stole!

I have been knitting, I promise. I have no project pictures, things have left the house before pictures could be taken. Other things are moving quite slowly, and quite honestly I would usually rather knit than take the time to take pictures and then, post (isn't that a silly idea).

But I do have one picture of the yarn I bought at Estes, I bought enough of each yarn to make a sweater.

061807_005 The 2 on the outside are Plain and Fancy, and the middle one is Broosk Farm, it is a heavier weight of the viscose yarn they had last year (meaning I won't need 000 to knit it). The Brooks is even superwash, very handy.

I have started many new projects, all pictureless:

Estonian Garden

Twisted Flower socks

Boat Neck Sweater

A few other as well I am sure.

Short and sweet until I have picturs that is.
