Joy! Joy!

It's done! It's done! I finally finished the "Bookworm Tunic" from Hip Knits that has traveled with me from the States to Prague and then made the move to London. I told myself that I needed to get this sweater sewed up before the vacation was over so of course I put it off until Sunday evening and had stay up until 11:00 p.m. finishing it. It only took a couple of hours, but I just kept procrastinating. Wasn't difficult... actually sort of fun. Why did I wait for nearly two years to do it? Really... two years!

I'm not the only one though. A woman who organized the Prague knitting group had a bedspread that she'd started in the States, took with her to Africa and then to Prague. She kept dragging it out during knitting group, but she never actually worked on it. I think that project was going on ten years.

Also just wanted to post a couple of felted ditties that I made. Hubby started wearing those dime store reading glasses this past summer and he needed a little something to hold them in. Someone gave me some nice yarn, but there wasn't much, so I had to come up with a small project. Also decided to make him a cover for his iPod. There is no creative knitting here... felted them and they work. However, when we were in Switzerland visiting his sister, he loaned her his phone and now his phone case is M.I.A., so he's using the iPod cover for his phone (probably fits better).

Waiting for some Rowan yarn that is back-ordered to come in. I think the package is waiting for me at the Post, but when I walked down to collect it, I found that they closed at 1 p.m. and I didn't make it there until 1:30p.m. Drag. What closes at 1 p.m.? At least it was a sunny day and a pleasant walk; however, I really want to work more on this sweater, but there is nothing I can do until I get this yarn. Even went down to the John Lewis on Oxford Street where they have a pretty good selection of Rowan yarn. They had tons of the Calmer yarn, but of course nothing in the color that I needed. Will have to make another trip to the Post tomorrow, but not sure that's possible as I have meeting after meeting.
