I do not like February. It’s dark and cold and leftover guilt from New Year’s resolutions clouds my enjoyment of the days. I can’t get out to walk much, getting together with friends seems like a lot of effort, and it is quite clear that Spring Shall Never Come Again.
I eat a lot of chocolate in February. It doesn’t really help.
This is all a prelude to admitting to you that I have not finished my Celtic Dreams Aran sweater in time for SPA, now only two days away. I bet you all thought that the absence of my chatty self from Blogland meant that I was saving up my energies for knitting ferociously away on Celtic Dreams.
Well, no.
I have gotten quite a bit done, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely, but somehow I don’t think the photo below shows the start of a new fashion trend, do you?
Even with the addition of the other newly cast-on project, seen below, I don’t think you’ll see me on the cover of Vogue Knits anytime soon.
In fact, let’s just display ALL of the projects I have cast on, and yet somehow not yet finished, since the beginning of the year. I haven't finished a damn thing in 2007.
Now you see why February is not my favorite month.
Passion. Courage. Character. The Linnet struggles to express herself through knitting, with occasional excursions into chasing rare species. And considerable blather.
