Bah.

I want to be home, snuggling with Nathan and/or knitting. I am so ready for the weekend right now.

In other news, I have successfully conquered DPNs! I am behind on picture-taking (sorry), but I was working away on them last night at knit group anyway, so you've all seen me in action. The hat is turning out to be really cute and I really enjoy using DPNs...and making stockinette in the round (no purling! yay!). Anyway, I think I like DPNs better than if I used circulars in the round cause I feel like I get a different sense of accomplishment since I work 1/4 of a round at a time. If I finish 3 rounds, it feels more like 12 to me and that keeps me motivated. So this has equaled a bunch of firsts...first knit hat, first use of DPNs, and first project in the round. Woot!

I've also working a couple more inches on the sweater and I think I'm about 1/3 of the way (maybe more) to starting the armhole shaping.

I've also increased my current works in progress as my mom asked for a scarf. I've decided to do alternating squares so it's not boring and not too fancy for the yarn (it's an annoying bulky-weight yarn...difficult to work with and too thick to do any ribbing).

So yeah, my hands are full, and a few things have been put on the backburner for now, but I'm plugging away and making progress, so I'm happy as things are for now.
