The knitting of the Kusha scarf came to a temporary halt. I just couldn't get my knit groove on with my needles on hand. The 14 inchers were not comfortable, circulars didn't cut it, metal or otherwise. So being that I can be
In the meantime, with the trauma and drama around here of late, I almost lost my knitting mojo alltogether. These socks are driving me nuts. I love knitting socks and don't know why it's taking me forever to finish these. But heels are turned and I think I'm finally on my way.
My Chevron the Sequel is almost there. But... almost isn't good enough.
So what do I do? I start to crochet a purse. The quick fix of fiber crafts, for me. I've had this cotton yarn around forever, and I do mean F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I bought the yarn 15 years ago, I kid you not. Originally to make me a top, then decided to make a bikini for my daughter, then it was going to be a shawl, then... on and on. Now it's going to be a purse. I'm winging the pattern, fashioned after one of my favorite bags, which is so worn out, but I still love it. More on this soon.
In the meantime, the heat is killing me. And it's only mid-July. I just don't do well with the heat anymore. Or is it the humidity? Who knows. Who cares. It's a drag, any way you look at it.

You've just said everything I'm feeling...
See, now I think had I been a bit more "meticulous," I would not have loathed the Kusha as much as I did. The right needles sometimes make all the difference.
I hate the heat as well. Fortunately, it's been fluctuating here in CT between 66 and 92 for the last few weeks. So we at least get a break.
I love the colors of your second Chevron!
Glad to hear things are getting a little better. But between the heat and all the other stuff you've been dealing with, it make sense that the knitting vibe is a bit off. Here's to cooler weather, less drama, and more crafting!
You know, I find that when I am tired of one process (knitting or crochet), taking up the alternate process works like a charm. Your WIPs are looking faboo nonetheless.
Haven't seen you around in a while, and am just checking in to make sure you're OK. Hope it's not trauma or drama that's got you away. Maybe you're off on a lovely vacation of sorts (we can hope).
