Glowing Colors breathes again.
The creative slump extended to knitting projects as well. Although, in all honesty, I've been obsessed with knitting little baby hats in my spare time, so perhaps the drive was still there, but this project took a long siesta. Remember this? I'm happy to say I'm in love with it again. (do you see Nosy Nellie there? Gracie inserts herself into every photo op. Candy would rather catch up on ZZZZ's.)
As you can imagine, it was mocking me from its' cozy nest in the basket next to the couch. It's a big basket, and it's hard to miss, and everytime I walked by, it jumped out at me as if to say, "LOSER! You can't finish anything!"
Well, I have news for you, Glowing Colors. Can so.
I'm halfway through the second panel. Really, it's ridiculous to put a project like this down because it's a super easy, super fast knit. Big needles, big yarn; knit one row, purl the other; repeat. Mindless, and pretty perfect for couch sitting, t.v. vegging (if I could just find the 24 hour Jon Stewart and/or Steven Colbert channel, I'd be set. I'd never have to leave the couch!).
(Nosy Nellie gets bored with me. Excuse my lame housekeeping, there are stray socks everywhere. No wonder we can't find the mate.)
Even though this is cheap acrylic yarn, it's really quite soft and nice to knit with. And I love knitting with two colors together. I love how one color works its' way into the next color, and so on. I'm challenging myself to finish this by the end of the month.
Oh, Lordy. Not another Challenge. I've totally fallen off the Dinner Challenge. Next week, k?
You can do it!
And, may I ask... what is that cute, ruffly cardi you are wearing?

Ooooo, I forgot all about the afghan project! Better get it done before it starts to warm up.

That really is looking lovely ... I also love the way the colors are melding together. Good luck with the conclusion!
