From Susan — Awaiting Inspiration

Filed under: Back Story,Oregon Cardigan — surly @ 5:19 pm

Again, I settle into the knitting doldrums with nothing to inspire me.  I am slogging away on Oregon, but it progresses so slowly that it does not do much for my knitting mojo.  I have toyed with a couple of new projects, but none of them are quite working out.  I have some designs to work on but that takes too much brain power, and what I really want is something a bit mindless to take along with me.  I can’t design “on-the-go.”   So that is why I have had very little to post lately.  I just don’t have much goin’ on.

Here is a current picture of Oregon — looks strikingly familiar, right?

You can see there is a little bit of progress.  It was interesting the other night, though.  I was working on Oregon at a soccer game in the outdoor/natural light, and the colors were spectacular — incredibly bright and vivid.  It was surprising to see the difference.  The yarn really is gorgeous.

Knit Out Update — October 8 at Brookdale

I attended the Minnesota Knitters Guild meeting last night.  Knit Out 2006 is going forward as planned and should be a lot of fun.  Hope everyone within a 50-mile radius will be there!
