Monogamy works!

(Hopefully that title won't attract a bunch of weirdos; especially since this is about knitting monogamy.)

I've been faithfully plugging away on Vino and on Tuesday night I finished the back.  This knitting one thing at a time plan is quite fruitful.

Sorry about the crappy camera phone pictures, I was in a rush and my camera battery was dead.  I really need to get another battery or a new camera since this is getting rather silly.

I pushed getting the back done because it was not longer portable at almost 38" and I wanted to work on it at knit night on Wednesday.  And I concur with everyone that Dream in Color is fast yarn; it just flies off the needles.  I finished the ribbing on the left front last night whilst eating cake to celebrate Denny's birthday (and a big Happy Birthday to Elizabeth whose birthday is today) and meeting Ysolda, who came all the way from Scotland to hang with the knitters--she's lovely and her cardi is now on my to-do list.

Of course, even the monogamous can stray a bit...

That's the yarn to make Hip in Hemp.  I'm trying to stay faithful and not swatch or anything until Vino is blocking.  I don't have an elastic for the waist yet, so I wouldn't get far anyway.  But it is tempting to start.  Especially now that Spring has sprung and it's ideal skirt weather. 

Better camera phone photo of Queen's Park turning green (I walk by it on my way to work.  It's kinda neat to be this close to government, even if they piss me off most of the time.)

The new yarn looks lovely - so does the green park...

WOW! How did I miss that you'd finished the back? You're moving right along, there, missy! If it stays chilly you might even get to wear it before the fall. (Hopefully not, though---I'm as ready for skirt weather as everyone else!)

Love the colours you picked for the skirt! Can't wait to see it!

Gosh, I completely understand about wanting pictures now! Even so, your camera phone pictures are worlds better than mine. I really need to practice using adequate lighting.

Pretty good for a camera phone. But its time to camera shop, my friend.

Yeah, nothing worse than those monogamy weirdos.

:D

I can only get things done by playing the monogamy game. I really want to be one of those knitters with lots of projects going on at the same time but it just doesn't work for me.

I love your colour choices for Hip in Hemp. Cast it on, already... we want to see more! :)

I have enjoyed popping in to your blog for a couple of years. Classy design and content! Don't you love the green leaves of spring? Perhaps it inspired your choice of yarn for your Hip in Hemp project. I just finished a monogamous shawl project, and you're right about the progess you can make. So shall I next really try to finish the purple cotton summer shell for *this* summer?
