I got a whole ball of yarn knitted up into the husband jumper yesterday, yay!

this morning i did 10 rounds on my sock so that is coming along well too, a lady in the LYS said that about 60 rounds after the cuff was a good amount and it looks like it will be. I am knitting Koigu on 2.25mm needles and it is coming out very nicely, I started out on 3mm and that wasn’t right but as these are for me I have just changed the size and carried on….

Also I manged to tidy the house and do allot of washing so I think I have achieved enough while DH has been away.

I seem to be prioritising knitting above sleep! that cant be good, I now have 3 different socks cast on….

one cuff down on two circulars in Koigu

one toe up on two circulars in the Knittery’s cashmere and Merino yarn using a tow up method i found on the web, with allot of stitch wrapping.

one toe up in some crap wool I got on eBay using cat bordhi’s Turned toe (I must say I am liking the turned toe).  

I am making progress on the husband jumper but not as much as I would like, I have run out of sock needles so at least I cant cast any more on…

I must stop trying to knit socks and do the husband jumper!!!

I have got nervous about the husband jumper and have got my LYS to put aside some spare balls of yarn for me, so now I have a time pressure to get it done, so I can either pick up or cancel the balls of yarn.

I got a good 30 rows done on my sock last night….

oh dear, I blame “socks and the city” listening to her talk about socks just makes me want to knit them….

Money runs away from me like water off a ducks back.

Buying needles irritates me, it seems like i could go on buying needles for ever and still be unlikely to have the one I need at the time I need it…..

I bought Addi turbos, for sock knitting, but i don’t like the shorter length, so now I have bought knit picks in 2.25 and 2.75 in 60cm, I hope these are going to work for me. I think I should sell the Addi’s i have, but i am sure i wont get my money back on them and as soon as I sell them i will probably need them…. is this the Murphy’s law of knitting? 

Finished up the booties last night will go and snap a picture and then post them off.

I am so busy at the moment, I feel like my whole life is a WIP, which I suppose it is, but I feel like I am currently at a repetitious pattern part, that I don’t care much for.

I am knitting booties for the child of one of the resort staff we met in Fiji. I feel like I have taken too long to do this project so I need to finish them up and post them off ASAP, I am keen to develop my own bootie pattern but I don’t suppose this is the time to do that…

I also need to make progress on the Husband Jumper that hasn’t moved since last week, well it has moved (its been diligently carried about) but I haven’t knit any more of it.

I need a nice 5.5mm  bamboo circular to continue my lace on and i cant find any that I like, I feel it needs to be bamboo to hold the yarn, but they just don’t seem to be very sharp, any ideas would be welcome.
