Another hiatus

I just don't feel like blogging any more. My job and life altogether take up a lot of time. Maybe it's just a phase, but I don't see the end of it. I will update my projects on Ravelry and Flickr.

Thanks for reading!!!

Some more Pipkin

I want to finish something, so I try to stick to Pipkin before I start something else.

Here is the progress so far:



The body is done and the sleeves are in progress. I'll do longer sleeves than suggested in the pattern because a) I'll get more wear out of it and more important b) I already have more yarn than is needed.

Having said that, I got some really nice yarn (hey! it's a belated Christmas present ... at least most of it) and will start this project as soon as Pipkin is done:




I won't do red, but a mix of lighter and darker browns. Yummy yarn, Lana Grossa Cashtweed with 7% Cashmere.

Prison Break

I am so much into this series right now!! Love it! Wentworth Miller is adorable =).

What I have been doing ...

In a nutshell, I got a new job and am studying at a different university. Woooho. This change was related to a lot of organization and stuff that had to be done, but I was kind of nervous about it, too. There is not everything totally clear yet - I am still working at the old job and have to pass on my projects.

I have been knitting, but there are no FOs to show. I started a bunch of new things (more like serious startitis I think) and ordered more yarn (as if I would need any hehe).

This sweater is on hold - I just don't feel like knitting it right now:



I have started this cardigan from an older Verena magazine, I think it's from 2006. The yarn I am using is from China and totally smells like plastic. It is pure wool though and felts like a dream when I am doing split and splice. The garter stitch sleeves are finished and I am not into complicated cables for the body right now, so it's kind of on hold, too.



And if this would not be enough, I have cast on for Pipkin from Naturally Noro, using the suggested Noro Blossom in a different color:



It's color No. 15. One front and most of the back is done. I got the latest Rebecca magazine, too =).





I love the yarn, it's the nicest Noro I have used so far, great colors and very warm. It won't be my first choice for work, though ... but keeping wearability at the job in mind is kind of boring sometimes.

The most exciting project is a jacket I am sewing.



I am doing long sleeves and the fabric I am using is very different.



It will be an outdoor jacket more for the colder months - so I better get going before spring is here!
