The Daleks of procrastination, I mean, productivity… [Meg]

I am currently at home to the Daleks of procrastination [TM The Hand-Knitted Pirate] in regards to my MSc. Thesis (Ahaha. Ahaha. AHAHAHAHAohgods), which would explain why my Ravelry queue has been reorganised so that the projects I need to knit soon and that I have the yarn for are at the top, my stash has been sorted so that stuff I have used is marked as such and I have both finished two outstanding works in progress and, uh, started a new one.

Yes, quite.

First up: Finished Objects!

Baby Bamboo Cardi

It’s a cardi for my wee cousin, Annabell. It’s the snappily named ‘Design C’ from the Sirdar Baby Bamboo pattern book and is knitted in the Baby bamboo (lovely yarn, btw) in green. I actually started it and finished it a couple months ago but I kept delaying on the sewing up because I am) a lazy and b) I fear sewing up. But, it is amazing what you’ll do with the help of the Daleks of Procrastination and if it is going to fit her, I need to get it to her soon. I opted not do the daisy stitching in the end. [Ravelry]

Knitting: Dishcloth

I’ve had a skein of random variegated cotton lurking in my stash for aaaages, so I cast on yesterday and turned it into a couple of dishcloths. There are actually two but I haven’t bothered photographing the second one as it is pretty much identical. They’re both the basket weave stitch cloths from Star Athena’s Back to School, without the text. I look forward to trying them out. [Ravelry]

Behold! A new WIP:

knitting: Leftover vest

Because I don’t still have a ton of Hogswatch knitting to do and my Cheshire Cat stole on the needles, I cast on for Alison Hansel’s Leftovers, on the justification that it would shrink my stash a bit and I could do with a knitted vest to wear over my work shirts at the moment. Yes, witness my justification!

It’s going well so far – after a few hiccups vis-a-vis the number of cast on stitches and my inability to count stitches made from doubled yarn accurately – and I am now happily playing with the stripe pattern. I’m mostly winging it. It’ll all be fiiiine! [Ravelry]

I will…write my thesis. Somewhere in all this. Yes. *looks shifty*
