And I write about…

I made it

It’s the end of NaBloPoMo and I’m making it by the skin of my teeth.

After I got off work at 10:30 tonight, Greg and I made samosas. He’s frying them right now. And wearing the apron he got from his co-workers as a wedding gift (presumably for me. I, however, got my own wedding apron).

Stress

Stress. I have a lot of it.

How do you handle yours?

Setback

Remember how I mentioned I was on row 22 of 27 of the shoulder decreases on my sweater? Well I just finished up row 26 and realized that I’ve done the whole 27 rows wrong and I have to rip back. I am seriously annoyed right now. I have around 30 extra stitches that I don’t know what to do with.

Unimpressed Marie is unimpressed.

Out of Hibernation

I have a sweater that I’ve been working on for quite a long time. I can’t remember if I started it before or after Greg’s sweater but it got put away. Then my knitting mojo went away and I’ve been working on next to nothing since I came back from Korea.

So, this weekend I got the sweater out and have been working on it. I’m on row 22 of 27 on the shoulder decreases.

After this comes short row shoulders then the hood. I’m kind of afraid of the short rows as I’ve never done them before. There are no real instructions on how to do them in the pattern – it’s the coming back and closing up the hole part that I don’t get how to do. Advice or links to your favorite tutorial would be welcome.

Socialization

Tonight is the office Christmas party. Greg and I are going. A large part of me wants to continue knitting and watching Inspector Morse (which I’ve been doing all day). The other part of me knows this is probably a good experience.
