Still bromptoning.

Its killing me, i've completed it past the arm done the waist decreasing, and am 9 inches past armhole, using 5th ball at the moment, so getting close on yardage, may need to buy a smaller 4mm 40cm circ, do arms, then carry on with body. But to be honest, i really don't want, to. I've lost interest. That much Stocking stitch i'm losing sight of how much i have actually done. Last night I Lost The Will To Knit. I sat in Iknit with brompton on my lap for 30minutes before announcing my problem. Firstly i got told to get a new yummy yarm that i would love. So after long thought brought a skein of Artesano Aran for a hat for Kev. Also a 40cm 5.5mm circ. It's coming out lovely. Really beautiful. Had a bit of a Q&A for how many stitches, went with 92 as i air on the side of tight, and decided on a twisted rib as Yvonne couldn't remember how to do broken rib, and due to an error, now a design feature made by Penny, I have decided to do Twisted Rib. Doesn't look as harsh as it does on Mangyle, Just very neat and good, so happy with that, also make me look good i can point out it's reversable for slightly different looks! Think its working though. Although dreading starting on brompton again. See where i go with that!

Here is my OH doing a sterling job of modeling the hat for me.
Off to Iknit tomorrow to meet debbie bliss and do the Macmillian coffee morning/afternoon. Then going to be teaching on the southbank on sunday on the Iknit stand. Need more knitting to take, maybe another swallowtail in sock weight?
