let's fade together
The short version of where I've been is that after I got back from the Witching Hour, I was eaten alive by Franz Ferdinand fandom for a week and a half. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much: in my first eleven days back, I went to six concerts, four of which were Franz, and two of which were out of state. Any night I wasn't at a show, I was trying desperately to get some sleep, because -- oh right! -- I have a job, and it wouldn't really do to suddenly become a zombie after my first two weeks.
Happily I've managed to recover as far as sleep goes; the concerts were wonderful (the last one culminated in a kiss on the cheek from Franz's woobie guitarist); and I've reason to believe that my job will turn permanent in the not-too-distant future. But in the midst of all that, I completely lost track of my knitting, and that's simply no good.
I've been plodding along on Kiri everyday during my commute. She's about 15" along the center back, I'd guess, but my god, is it boring now. I reeeeally need something else to work on -- I think that's the problem, this lack of variety -- but I've been so busy/tired that I haven't had a moment to find something to inspire me. This is Bad.
So, here's what I'm gonna ask. Link me to something awesome. A project of yours, someone else's, a pattern you saw, a picture, anything. It's freezing in New York now and I desperately need new sweaters, and I can actually afford yarn again (yay!). I want to make something incredible, but on my own, I'm coming up short.
I'll recap TWH next time -- I've got a smattering of pictures, and unless you were there, you seriously won't believe how much the animal cracker hat went for in the auction.
