I am officially in burn-out mode.
Instead of working diligently on my looming papers and research assignments, I am spending my free time browsing Ravelry, reading blogs, and watching TV. I don't even watch TV!!! But there is a simple explanation, and it's called Burn-Out Mode. It's that special of the semester when you've been working non-stop for close to two months, evenings and weekends included, and you just want a stretch to digest the 1000+ facts you've learned and regroup. Instead of waiting for Reading Week, you find yourself taking long stretches of time when you should be working, doing something completely different and useless.
Enter my knitting.
These stylish fingerless gloves are modelled by their new recipient, my wonderful brother, who celebrated his 22nd birthday this weekend. They were a great quick knit, and the pattern was more or less made up, with some inspirations from a bunch of sources.
Next up is another
Meret , then another one after that! And neither are for me! Which is a shame, because after all these gifts I think that my head is looking a little bear...
This is my 2nd Meret, as modeled by my lovely mum, which was commissioned by a friend of a friend. Besides, I've got a baby kaftan on the go, and finishing to complete on my eyelet cardigan!! And I'm already dreaming up new projects! In fact, I think a visit to my LYS is in order... considering it's my favourite in Toronto, and I'll be back in Montreal on Sunday. Yes, new yarn is definitely in order.
