I’ve been knitting….and knitting….and then some…<\/p>\n

For months.<\/p>\n

And no matter how hard I try, I don’t seem to be getting to the end.<\/p>\n

I’m making one of those projects that will keep going forever and ever and never be finished.<\/p>\n

And I really want it to be finished because I want to wear it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is my version of Color Affection<\/em> by Veera V\u00e4lim\u00e4ki (who has to be one of the very best designers around, in my humble opinion) You can see what it should look like here<\/a>. Pretty scrummy eh? I have no idea how long my version is. It’s just a big scrunched up jumble on a round needle that goes on and on….I think I must be up around 500 stitches a row. It goes on forever and ever into infinity. I have to sit down for what feels like half an hour just to get one row knitted.<\/p>\n

I’m coming very slowly towards the end of the short row section, where the rows come over at an angle to join the regular knitting. It’s seriously cool. I love the design and I really, really love the Rowan Cashsoft yarn I’m using. I love the soft smoochyness of it. I love the colors. I have tons of things that it will look wonderful with.<\/p>\n

I just wish that I could be done with it. I’m dreaming about how it feels to cast off a billion stitches at the end of a project that has taken over my life….<\/p>\n

Oh and as a little interlude I did manage to finish these blocks for Lush<\/a> in the Sew Euro-bee-an bee….they were done in the twinkling of an eye. (Sorry about the dark photo – I’ve been living in a bank of fog for the last few days. there is seriously no light here at all…it feels like we’re living in a glass of milk)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike something else I’m not going to mention…again…till it’s done…<\/p>\n
