The garter stitch blanket is done. Ridiculously easy and mindless, which is exactly what I’ve needed these last few weeks and months. I’ve moved on to a cabled cardigan for the Little Mr, and made some decent progress on it yesterday. It might, in fact, get done before the end of January if I really focus on it and don’t start anything new. I’m down to just two knitting projects going – the cabled cardigan, and a pair of socks that I’ve been keeping in the car for those occasions where I have time to kill. Once the cardigan is done I’m going to move onto a scarf for the husband, which is now two winters overdue.
Knitting is slow, but I’m finding that taking knitting to bed with an audio book helps to feel like I’m still finding time for it. I had a glass of wine last night with my knitting after the baby went to bed, but I think I’m going to switch to tea. I haven’t drank hot tea in quite a while, it being replaced with glorious coffee for the caffeine fix. I miss that daily ritual.
