Hulk Snap

So, that knitting project that I lost? Well, I found it soon after I wrote that post and I've been working on it in between other projects (it's long garter rows that just keep getting longer, so it's not super duper exciting). It was going to keep me occupied on a ride to LA this past weekend, and it worked for a few minuets...until I snapped the needle. 

Whoops.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who loses knitting projects. To be fair, I haven't picked this particular one up in about 3 years. Some might find rows and rows of garter stitch meditative, but it functions more like Ambien for me. Melatonin. A cup of warm milk (which I think is actually pretty gross, unless you add chocolate). Give me cables! Give me colorwork! Give me charted lace designs! My brain and my needles will come alive.

The project I'm looking for is Scalene, which is a perfectly cute and functional neck-wrap-thing. (Not really a scarf, not really a shawl. What should we call that?) The problem is so not with the pattern, which I picked up because I thought it was clever. It's got a slash to pull itself through! That's always been my beef with scarves/shawls is that they are a bit of a pain to wrap in a way that keeps them on your neck. It's exactly the kind of thing I want to wear, but I just wish I knew how to get myself to finish it!

I was, and hope to still be, knitting it in some absolutely delicious Brooklyn Tweed LOFT. It knits up so squishy, and I love the rustic nature of the yarn. I would love to finish it so I could wear it...

So let me know if you see it, K?
