chocolatepotHave a cold again. Sick of this. I feel like I've spent more time coughing than not over the last few months!!
The other week, I finished the vest I was knitting. (REALLY funny to compare it on me vs the only other person who's made it, it looks like an entirely different pattern.) I've worn it a couple of times and really like it - I just wish, as I say in the Ravelry note, that I'd done another iteration of the "darts" so that the waist would be a bit more snug. I always have this problem, between the thickness of the knit fabric and the short distance between my bust and waist and the looseness at the waist when I make something to fit the bust, they can be a bit frumpy. Going to try to be more proactive about doing shaping that's not in the pattern in the future.
I tried to go back to the socks I started last winter but ugh. Socks are boring and the black Wool of the Andes is so dark that I frankly can't see the stitches! So I started my pi shawl yesterday and it's racing along.
Accepted another Yuletide pinch hit like a sap! I'll never finish my Regency novella at this rate.
