Stripey goodness

I finished 5 pieces of my sesame cardigan! Since my apartment is so small, I couldn't spare more than two towels and I ran out of pins, so I have to block in shifts. But it made sense to do the body pieces first so that I can knit some collar action this weekend while the sleeves have their turn. I made it through this babies really fast, but not only because I'm totally results driven--it is a great knit. (The grey is much more accurately shown in the close-up).

I've been doing a really bad job of not letting other people bother me lately, hence the speedy knitting (Oh, what? You didn't notice? This is really fast for me). I hate it when I let other people's judgements of me affect the way I feel. No way, Jose! If I choose not to drink caffeine and to leave work on time every day, I have every right to do so, and I know it. But until I figure out a good way not to let annoying people get under my skin, I have a feeling there is going to be a lot more knitting progress around here. But with a smile!
I'm almost out of black yarn and I still have to knit the collar and button bands, so please cross your needles for me!

So you're using the knitting to calm down? Stockinette projects are a good choice for that...sort of the *Ommmm* of knitting. :-)
Sesame's looking good.

Looks great - I'd swear you were drinking coffee to get so much knitting done. Hee.
