Promises, Promises

You are so tired of this Daylight sweater thing, aren't you? 

I tell you what? I promise to finish this sweater before I take one more boring picture, I get to show you a cute kid pic of the Boy in his new sweater, and then we'll be done with it, okay? 

Then maybe I'll graft those stitches I promised you I'd take care of on the Ballet Neck Cardigan (I'm not scared; I sat through The Village last night.  If Ivy can race time through the beast-infested woods with nothing but her seeing-eye cane, I can graft 300 stitches), and swatch for the very same Aran cardigan that Juno has just started (she thinks that you'll want to knit it too once you see that all of two of us are making the same sweater, and she might be right because it is cool.  I think it's even cooler than the must-have, and you know how many people joined that parade, don't you?) and slip a knit teddy bear in there somewhere (I loved the one Siow Chin sent to Lis's daughter Jamie so much, I have to make one NOW-- you can see it here).

And I was thinking that maybe I should put in a few rows a day on the PS136 because the poor thing is beginning to grow whiskers it's been asleep for so long, and I have been thinking about writing out a pattern for an easy-on mitten for the Dulaan project.  You know little kids and mittens, right?  If there's a way for the pinky to end up in the thumb, it does.  It's a miracle we get out of the house some mornings without broken digits (mine, that is).

And then, maybe if I'm good and eat all my vegetables, my head won't explode.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some stitches I have to pick up.

And you're going to sleep when? Next month?

The Daylight sweater is looking great. Don't you love that sense of satisfaction when you look at it and think - golly me, I reckon this is going to work! As for all the other stuff - if being good and eating your vegetables does it for, then go for it. Just don't forget to breathe.

Oh, no, I love this sweater. Can't wait to see the boy wearing it.

I thought maybe we could kind of seduce people into join us...with the fabulousness of the sweater. A kind of accidental knit-along. Since a formal knit along is a guarantee that I will never touch a project again and we Can't Have That.
