As you can see, in the case of Jay, I literally I cast on. Actually, this is my second cast on for this sweater, I used a 2.25mm needle the first time but that needle didn't seem to be working with this yarn so I frogged and went up to a 2.5mm for the ribbing. A 2.75mm (my standard choice for fingering weight sweaters) should be fine for most of this sweater but the ribbing seemed to need to be a little looser.
Olive Green II is making good progress as an evening, upstairs TV watching, project. That would be when everyone gathers at the upstairs TV to watch the same show. Sometimes I hang out in my den downstairs and watch a different show.
And finally a Black Pullover, this one is a 70% cotton, 30% linen blend yarn, the other two are wool (Olive Green II) and wool blend (Jay). This is a true black and I suspect will require good light to work on it; this makes it a good den TV watching project as there is more light in that room. So far it looks like the black will be done first even though it was cast on last by a few days. It's possible that it could be helped along by the fact that it's also the thickest (DK weight) yarn.
The socks, Bunny Blanket, and the Blue Stripes Blanket each got a few rows this week but not enough for a picture. Plus, I had to borrow the 4.0mm needle from the Bunny Blanket for a day or so for the ribbing on the Black Pullover. Sometimes, sacrifices must be made in the name of knitting.
Scent Hurdle
Thee was Scent Hurdle yesterday and I got to run a friend's dog, Tonka. He loves this sport so he's a blast to run, even though he's a 70lb dog who could pull me off my feet if I'm not paying attention.
Current Weather
4C and mostly cloudy.
* from the Urban Dictionary: Startitis: noun - Repeatedly starting new projects while still having multiple uncompleted projects.
