And yet

I have been responsible all week and let me tell you that I am really looking forward to the weekend.  

I only worked on existing WIPs all week.  It's great really.  The Mrs. Hunter's sweater has only 1 sleeve to go.  I am only resting from it to give my hand a change.  It's the old story.  Small round things on circular needles are hard on my hands.  There was just never a point where I could switch out to my dpns.  

For the last couple of days I've been working on this top.  

The last thing I did on the it was to finish the front side panels.  It sat for a few days while I worried about side two.  Never fear.  That was wasted.  I made actual notes on how many stitches I had cast on between front panel and back panel to for the side of the shoulder.  Sometimes I amaze myself.  

I have the second side underway and I feel really good about that.  It's not a fast knit.  The yarn is rather fine.  It's Elsbeth Lavold Silky Wool and while it is technically a DK, it knits light.  The multi is a skein of Noro Silk Garden Sock.  It looks bright and happy and richly coloured.

I have also knit a bit on socks. 

Not a lot but it was enough that I can see progress.  This particular Kroy yarn just makes me happy. Simple stripes are always good.

The problem with this week is that I am dreaming of casting on.  I know the pattern.  I have the yarns picked.  I know I ought to finish another project before I cast on anything new.  Flea should be enough.  And yet....
