WIP update - Arisaig
I am so pleased that my compadre is back, and it's been great having time off over the Easter break to catch up on some knitting. As you might know I rescued Arisaig from the naughty corner right after finishing the flyfishing socks. Since then I have frogged both fronts back to the ribbing and reknit them. I am much happier with them now.
I am almost finished the first sleeve with no major problems, except that its so long since I knitted a full length sleeve in 3 or 4 ply I had forgotten quite how long it takes. And quite how tedious it is. Stitches increasing means taking longer each row to get to the end. *sigh* This sleeve feels like The Neverending Sleeve of Doom. And I have one more to knit. I need encouragement, otherwise I may banish said garment back into that glittyknitting purgatory known as The Naughty Corner.
Still at least I know I am on the home straight, but the mere thought of having to knit a second sleeve is depressing. Really depressing. Perhaps I should knit a little inbetween project to get me through the tedium? Socks? A hat?

Ooh! A naughty knitting corner! I need me one of them. Currently, I have a "naughty clear plastic bag" - and it only holds "My So-Called Scarf" and well, there's another bag that holds Adamas, and I swear it's not being naughty, I just won't let myself knit it when I've been drinking, or when I want to watch TV, or um, ever I guess.

you definitely need to take a break from the Neverending Sleevage (wasn't that a Kashagoogoo song?) & knit something quick and mindless. More socks, or maybe another OSW?
Arisaig is so lovely it'll be worth the last bit of effort ---and if you take this little break, it'll be done in perfect time weather wise
