I have been knitting, even though I haven't posted in a while. I'm in a stretch of largish projects, so I'm basically just chipping away at things at the moment.

This has been my project on the bus:

That picture is a bit old, as I'm about two-thirds of the way finished with it, but it seems silly to take a ton of pictures of something that isn't finished yet. But you get the idea.

For something a bit less intensive I just made this cozy for my french press.

Hopefully this will keep my coffee warmer for a bit longer in the morning.

I've also been working on my Wicked sweater again (finally). I put it down when I was finished up my thesis in May, and then forgot about it until ... yesterday. In a flurry of knitting last night (while watching a movie for my film seminar) I finished the body and started the first sleeve today. It's a bit too big, so I hope washing it will help tighten up the fabric. I should be able to finish the whole thing this week.

yay.

Now quit pickin' your nose and knead that dough!

Um, so I had a big paper due Wednesday. It's still not finished. In fact, I might need to completely re-write everything I wrote up previously. I emailed the professor and he said to take my time; I'll just have an incomplete for a while. I'm okay with that.

But this post is about the sweater I'm working on:

wip - wicked

Wicked is a top-down sweater knit in one piece. I am quite excited about the prospect of not seaming. I hate seaming. I just finished the shoulder increases, and am working on the main body of the sweater. Once that's finished I just pick up the shoulder stitches and make the arms and viola! Sweater-time. I'll probably have it completed by the end of next week.

I cast-on for a mug cozy by mk carroll, which I'm making my mom for Mom's day. I also bought seven skeins of Vanna's Choice (yes, Vanna White has her own line of yarn ... and it's acryllic ...) to make a giant Doctor Who scarf.
