Funny thing

The odd thing about keeping a knitting blog is that, so often, in taking the time to think through and write about how I feel about my knitting, I work through it and past it. And the next day, that previous blog entry isn't even true.
Like Friday, when I said I wasn't interested in my blue cabled cardigan: Not True! I spent the rest of Friday night gleefully cabling and decreasing away (for the yoke). I even stayed up WAY past my normal bedtime and couldn't put it down until 3 am! I left it next to my bed and Saturday morning, even before my first cup of coffee, I finished the yoke and bound off the collar!

After a couple of hours on the cuff, I was ready for blocking!

It's still damp, but hopefully it'll be off the towel and on my body by Tuesday morning.

All that and I even have a matching mug: 30 cents at Salvation Army. There was a set of 4, but they were all so badly stained, I just bought one until I found out if it could be cleaned up. And much to my surprise, All of the stains came out with just a bit of hot soapy water! Off to get the last 3!
In the same thrift store outing, I found this fantastic sweater for yarn recycling (I'll dis-assemble the sweater and skein the yarn for my own knitting). $3 for 90% wool/10% cashmere blend: yum!
Now just to decide if I'll leave it as is, or dye it darker (it's a green/gray blue)...
