So wouldn't you know it, I caught one of those horrid summer colds on my last day in England, and now I am stuffy headed and irritated. Between that and gearing up for the Republicans, can you blame me for not knitting a stitch last night? I went to bed early and slept as last as I could this morning.
I wanted to be knitting, I tell you that! I can't believe that I've seriously only spent about 90 minutes knitting in the last 12 days. I feel so behind on all my projects. And I haven't had time to catch up on all the various knitting blogs out there.
I did, however, have time to read the new Rowan magazine. I'm not all that googoo for most of the designs. Even though I have lots of girls to knit for, as I think I only remember two guy sweaters in the magazine, neither of which did much for me. There were just no projects I saw in there that made me jump and itch to make them. There were a few downright dogs... I particularly don't care for Maddy. I think it makes the model look overly top heavy... does nothing for her. If I were pressed to make one, it might be Carly, the cardi with beaded details by Louisa Harding, or Bay, the beaded beret by Kim Hargreaves. I wonder why I'm being drawn to all these beaded designs.
Anyhow, here's hoping I'll have the energy to knit tonight when I get home from work!
