My poor, poor, neglected knitting blog.

Crap, I didn’t realize I haven’t updated this thing since OCTOBER. But the truth is, I haven’t been doing that much exciting knitting.

I started the Central Park Hoodie in September, knitting it furiously with the intention of having it finished so I could wear it when I went to see my boyfriend in November.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

When I realized that was not going to happen, I put it (and knitting in general) down for a few weeks. Around December, my company owner’s son talked about his organization (assisting homeless veterans) and the need for warm clothing items to hand out, so I came home and decided to make a dent in the crappy Caron One Pounders I have left from this lap blanket I made for my mom. So I made about a dozen garter-stitch scarves. I figured it would be easier (and twice as warm) and faster if I just knitted in the round and then just joined the ends of the tube with fringe.

I really thought it would use up the acrylic (I won’t use it but I refuse to get rid of it), but I swear that shit just keeps reproducing in the bag, because it’s still there.

Anyway. I have been working on the CPH. I have the back finished, and I almost have the left front finished. The front is going really fast, thanks to the pattern being easy to memorize, so I don’t need to mess with the chart every row. It’s pretty mindless as long as I remember to cable on the third row. I just need to work on it more.

I am going to finish it. I swear.

In other excited knitted item news, I received this little gem from Michelle(in addition to a Yarn Harlot book):

I have to tell you, seeing the word “hoar” in yarn brings a little tear to my eye.

I’ll update more. (No, really.)
