One Crazy Fiber Lady

Back and Forth

While I wait for Knitpicks to get their heads out of their butts pack my order, I continue to work on Mr Not-So-Greenjeans. ¬†Anyone else notice the inordinate amount of time it takes for Knitpicks to grab a few skeins off the shelf and tuck into a box? ¬†I placed the order two days ago now and it is still pending. ¬†Really? ¬† ¬†That’s why I never pay for the “speedy” shipping from them cause it isn’t the shipping that’s the slow part, its the putting it in a box that is!

Okay, enough griping there, I have other things to keep my needles busy..

Mr. Not-S0-Greenjeans is now an inch shy of binding off the bottom hem. ¬†Here “he” is lounging on the ferry seat this morning:

I should be able to get that part finished today, if not on the way home, then definitely at SnB.  This morning in a fit of optimism, I dug out the extra long cable and the larger needle tips so I can get to work on the sleeves tonight.  Hehe.

Now if I should finish Mr. N-S-G before the yarn arrives from Knitpicks, there is another project that has me all eager. ¬†Didja all see ChicKnit’s newest design?

I lurve this look! ¬†I bought the pattern the day she announced it.. oh and then had a bit of a falling down at Colourmart and bought some 100% cashmere 8/28 in chocolate brown. ¬†The yarn arrived in yesterday’s mail :) ¬†I’m still trying to decide which version I’m going to do first. ¬†A week ago when I placed the order, I was leaning towards the cardigan, but the last few days has me on the pulli. ¬† ¬†Whichever I do first, I’ll do the other in some stashed Lavold Silky Tweed.

So what do you all think of the every other day blogging? ¬†I think I like it better. ¬†I can actually post real progress shots and things have a better chance of changing over 48 hours. ¬†Real substance in posts rather than, “yeah here’s a picture of the additional inch I knit and oh yeah, nothing else”. ¬†What do you think?

Craft on!
