Knitting slumps stink! The yarnbombs are on a deadline–adding a deadline is an instant happy knitting deal breaker. The cassette tape vest is still a beast. After declaring I hate it last week, we needed a bit of a cool down period so it’s been untouched. That didn’t leave much for on-the-go knitting.
My weekend involved a bus ride or three, there must be knitting! So I grabbed the only thing handy, my Batad. It had been sitting for two weeks, waiting patiently for a welt seaming row. The persnickety, fiddly row. On the bus. I was determined! Did not matter that I was carrying two bottles of wine and a bouquet of flowers, I was going to welt on the bus. It went surprisingly well! I didn’t lose stitch markers or that third needle I was using, no stitches were dropped, most importantly, no bottles of wine were dropped! and just like that, I was done with the row that kills all progress!
My Batad was now ready for the fun short row section! I didn’t get too excited…it was to be short lived! The short row fun is so fun that I always fly through it, and then it gets tossed aside for two weeks until I get around to the welt row. Not this time! I flew through the short rows and kept going! It’s been two days of happy knitting! aaaahhhhhhh! According to the pattern, there’s 9 short row sections, I’m currently halfway through six!
There is a tiny little light appearing at the end of the dark, dark knitting tunnel! Very soon I’ll be able to start the next round of projects that I’ll inevitably be cursing a month from now! I can hardly contain the excitement!!
Loving that!

nothing like not knitting one thing to make you knit the annoying parts on something else! Hope you manage to keep that momentum going :)
