Stripey goodness

Delicious, perfect stripes are my idea of a good time.

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.

It's looking good!

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

fantastic looking sweater!!
i don't deal well with annoying people either . . i just don't have that zen way of just letting them/their comments roll off of my back...

That sweater totally rocks. You are going to be fabulous in it! and annoying people suck. Good for you for trying to let it go! Knit on!
