It'll be 2016 in a few days, and the start of a new year, and time for resolutions that I don't keep. Looking back, my resolutions for this year were to be a size 12 (ha!) and to make trousers (ha! again), so this year, my resolutions are going to be pretty much the same. I've just joined our local cheapy gym, and I've been for a 6.61km run today, and done a load of sit ups and stuff, so things are moving in the right direction. I've got 20 pounds to lose; so far I've lost 1. At Christmas. You can touch me if you like. I have some photos of me in my workout gear which when I'm feeling brave I will post as a before picture at some point, so brace yourself for that.
Anyway, the point of all this exercise is to make the sewing and subsequent photos more enjoyable. If I'm going to have to take all sorts of inside leg and around my bum and thigh measurements, it had better be an interesting rather than horrific experience.
Knit chat, as well as FIT CHAT. No finished objects, but lots of progress.
Hexipuff Quilt: There are 237 hexipuffs done and sewn together and looking gorgeous.
The Rainbow Raglan: it now has a sleeve. However, knitting the sleeve made me realise that I had knitted in some form of side boob, and so I had to rip it back to the armhole and start again from there. *sob* It's coming along pretty well, and I'm almost finished with the waist shaping and then it's only a few rounds after that until the body is done. AGAIN.
Simon's Cobblestone jumper: round and round and round I go, where I stop, I do not know. *sigh*
Simon's massive man socks: Need more yarn
This One's for Parties Vintage Jumper: Grumpy
The Yellow Petrie: I appear to be using the orange I used for the facing for something else, so I will need to have a think about that.
Miette cardigan in Lemon: changed to be a Myrna cardigan, again by Andi Satturland for her Selfish Knitting Knit-Along, starting yesterday until Valentine's day. Myrna is very cropped and LOOK AT MY BOOBS which fits the new aesthetic very well. I'm going to give it long sleeves and make it a bit longer, so it looks less pornographic and is more wearable.
Mini Hetty cardigan with sleeves for Hattie: swapped out for a Rainbow Owlet jumper without owls, so a DK weight raglan sleeve jumper with rainbow stripes, which I started in Cambridge on Tuesday and am nearly done with. Hurrah for quick fixes. Not sure how to do the stripes on the sleeves though, but I'll work it out.
These are things that are waiting to be started.
A circle blanket for Robin

There's never enough time! It looks as though you are making good progress.
ReplyDeleteIt's not going too badly really! I keep adding to the list though!
