With the new job, my daily commute entails a short, stumbling, sleepy-eyed walk across the hall from the bedroom to the office. The splash of all that oranginess wakes me right up. Its attempt to be grown-up and professional is thwarted by that relic from college, The Futon. Will we ever be rid of it. And will we ever decorate the bare, bare walls.

That's Veebs filling up the wicker basket nicely. Its usual place is in the basement but since working from home, I have this cat glued to my side 99% of the day. He's such a little lover. An annoying little lover. He's on the desk, in front of the keyboard, walking back and forth, tail in my face, on my lap where he won't sit still, behind me on the chair taking up space, making work furry and soft but quite impossible. With the basket in here he has his own place to sit, and can leave me in peace.

Aimee and Electra are on the blocking board. (Uh, Electra kinda looks like the rug...) I'm wondering now if I should just finish up Electra first, since it really only took about a week to finish a panel. I'm losing focus these days, which is why I haven't been knitting as obsessively as I used to. I just can't do multiple projects at once, and yet my mind wants to wander elsewhere...

Anthropolgie cardigan. I like you.

...to this lovely cardigan from anthropologie. It looks like a very simple construction - the bottom looks to be knit in one piece all the way around, then you pick up stitches along the side for the top portion. I could take a pattern from the Japanese stitch book for the top...and maybe decrease that bottom part so it looks less empire-waisted... yeeesss... yeeeeessssss... The store has so many other inspiring knits which I may just have to go out and buy.

I just found this on amazon.co.jp! Books of 200 more stitch patterns, 500 aran patterns, 1000 aran patterns!!!! God help me.
