Still can't taste the coffee



I lived!  I feel much better.  The last two days have been great.  I knit.  I can almost taste food.  Still can't taste coffee yet.  Bummer, but most importantly, I knit.  


Not much for a good ten days of time passing.  I am going to move that little marker today.  It's time to move on from marking sick days.  

I am working on this sweater monogamously at the moment.  I need to push on it hard to feel as if I am past the takes forever to knit point.  It is great knitting though with just enough stuff going on to keep me invested.  



I also have a problem.  Rebecca Clow dropped a new pattern this morning.  Her Staffin sweater is gorgeous.  I love Petiteknits Ingrid sweater, but a new to me designer,  at this point isn't quite my jam.  I find that often designers design for their own body types and I am not at all that body type.  I have never knit her designs and I don't know what I would need to do to make her sweater work for me.  

Staffin has the same vibes.  Not quite cabled.  Not just textured.  All cozy warm.  A bit rustic and old home.  Staffin is what I need.  The yarn I need for Staffin is a cozy, rustic sort of yarn.  I don't have to look hard for that because I love rustic yarn.  In this case, my heart almost hurt because I knew exactly what would be perfect for Staffin.  


Arghhhh.  I love how this sweater is working.  It's fun to work and very different, but this lovely dark grey is perfect for Staffin.  It may magically turn into one.  

I have lots of knitting on the Hacho sweater while I think about all this.  And the many other projects in the WIPs bin.  Not that I am going to finish all these things before I start a Staffin.  Or one of the many other diversions waiting ahead for me.  As long as it is knitting, it's all good.
