Work papers!
So I can legally work in France now. The only downside will be less time to knit, but I plan on taking it with me on the metro no matter what sorts of strange looks or questioning glances I might get.
My resolution to only knit one project at a time has already died a stealthy death. While making the Giraffe turtleneck sweater from a few Knitty’s past, the longing for a little quality time with sock yarn grew. I couldn’t ignore the desire any longer and gave in. I have started a Clapotis with some bluetastic Koigu KPPPM and the Roundabout socks by Ruth Greenwald on some first gen Opal Rainforest, “Flamingo”. I am glad to be back to my itty bitty yarn, and hope to have a job soon so that I can get some more — especially some KPPPM from knitpurl.com.
All that remains to do on the turtleneck is to set the sleeves, sew the side and sleeve seams, weave in the ends. I don’t want to block or iron it. I’d rather like it to be form fitting. Enough things look tent-like on me, I don’t need to add to that collection. For awhile then I’m going almost all sock until I’m sick of fingering weight and need an excuse to start another worsted weight sweater. Next time, it’s the Olive Branch Yoga Hoodie by Kirsten Hipsky. Somewhere in there I’ll make a reusable and antibiotic market bag for all the fresh produce I’ll be buying on my way home from my future job in Paris.
