…but I’ve been knitting. I know. Weird, right? I seem to remember that I used to do a lot of this kind of thing.
Viola. The Central Park Hoodie I’ve been meaning to knit for a couple of years now. I’m using the Cascade 220 that began as a Rogue (frogged), then became a Ribby Cardi (frogged), and will now, certainly, find its final and proper form as a Central Park Hoodie. It’s bizarre how quickly this sweater is knitting up. I don’t get much knitting time at all, and yet I already have a finished back and am closing in on finishing one side of the front. Let’s hear it for stupidly simple cables.
The knitting is posing in front of a Word file titled “Third draft notes.” Those are the only words I’ve had in that file for about twenty minutes now. Which is why I picked up the knitting. Yeah.
I’m not doing any heavy revisions yet, because I’m still waiting for feedback from most of my readers. But Billy gave me some good comments in the last few days, and I’d planned to start doing some writing around those, and some brainstorming and planning for third draft. That was the plan. I can’t seem to make myself get down to work today, though, and my writing time ends in two hours.
Shit. Less than two hours now. Okay. Here I go. To work. Really.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for the birthday wishes!
You’ll have a new sweater in no time the way you are knitting! I remember when I used to knit like crazy before kids… A fond memory, but maybe as they get bigger, we get more knitting time?

It looks awesome! The color is great…will be great with your hair.
I need to get a ball winder…those cakes look so satisfying.
Happy belated birthday. I always love people when they’re 35.

nothing like a little procrastination to get that knitting flying on the needles? 🙂 although does it count as procrastination if you are waiting for the rest of the feedback?
we should try to figure out a knit night/afternoon again…soon!

Oh, by the way – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love the hoodie! Especially the color, it really says “peaceful-restful” to me.
Ok. Half an hour left in my day. I am going back to work now.
…no, seriously… 8^D

I love that green colour. I bet you will finish it just in time for the cool weather.

That sweater looks fantastic. I may want to hit you up for hood advice when you’re done…been knitting a hoodie for a friend (off the top of my head) forever.

YAY for knitting time!

Love my CPH, although I have wondered a few times if I should have skipped the hood for a shawl collar or something. I don’t wear the hood (unlike my Rogue, where I use the hood lots and it fits great) and just hanging there it pulls the jacket back a bit.
I also wish I had placed a buttonhole on the fullest point of my bust, instead of one over and one under. No, I didn’t think that through very well.. Next time.
Looking forward to seeing yours!
