there's never enough time

i started this post over the weekend but never got around to finishing it. lately it seems like there's just not enough hours in the day to do everything that i want. but i do love that it's not dark when i get out of work now. makes me feel a little less pathetic. last weekend i worked a bit more on the shawl collar of the debbie bliss jacket. it's coming along slowly, but surely. see how odd it looks? hopefully all will be revealed when i am done with it and it'll fit together.



and remember this guy?


i busted out the jaeger vest this weekend, too. it was pretty confusing trying to figure out where the heck i was in the pattern but i think i got it and i've made it up to the armhole and neck shaping. however, i took a look at the finished back the other day and it looks ginormous compared to the front. i am going to pin everything together once i am done to see how it fits but i have a feeling that i may end up re-doing the back piece.

i also started to seam my atacama sweater and realize that i officially hate seaming. it's really not fun and i can almost see why people pay other people to do it for them. how i wish i had a friend who was crazy about seaming. i've only got to attach the sleeves now. i don't know how i really feel about the sweater. it's okay. but the back piece is much more red than the other pieces, even though i alternated skeins. it actually bugs me a lot and i am thinking of overdying the whole thing once i am done. only i've never done anything like that before so i am scared. i'll get a picture in the light so you can all see what i am talking about. and i am off to nyc this weekend for a bit of fun. probably won't get to yarn shop at all or knit for that matter, but it'll be a good time. have a great week!
