Well I gave up today and marked everything in my bloglines account read. So what have I been doing since I haven’t been blogging or reading blogs? Well, let’s see, going to the gym, I joined about a month ago, knitting, working too much, playing a new video game, going to the farmer’s market and just enjoying the nice weather. Some how I’ve got to find a balance, I’m getting better. But not great cuz I took these pictures for a WiP it Wednesday post and well it’s Thursday night as I write this. hmmmmm
First up the Gossamer Stars Scarf from the new Interweave Knits. I’ve had this Handmaiden lace silk since last April. It looks beautiful in this pattern. I did go down a needle size so it will be slightly smaller.
The Off The Shoulder Tank from Vogue Knitting, I’m using Berroco cotton Twist that I’ve had in my stash for years. It’s gonna be a bit heavy but I think it will be ok.
Last up, the Dollar and a Half Cardigan, modified. This is the back. I wont be doing any vertical stripes, they are not flattering. I love the lace pattern so I just did some calculations and added cables to the back.

The cardigan is looking good! Love the scarf and tank too.
I had to give up and mark all as read a while back too. It’s hard to catch up once you’re way behind. Felt good didn’t it?

Someone referred to that as “declaring Bloglines bankruptcy” and it seemed apt!! I’ve done it a few times!
Your dollar & a half looks great, and so does the off the shoulder tank.

Bloglines bankruptcy, LOL! (Even though I’m a Google Reader gal myself.
)
Can’t wait to see your modded dollar and a half cardi!

Great projects! What game are you playing? We just got a Wii.

Wow! The WIPs look great! I never really liked that cardi because of the stripes either, but your’s looks great! I can’t wait to see it completed.
Don’t worry about the bloglines, it can sometimes take over your life! It’s good to start over sometimes.

I only ever catch up blogreading when I am at a quiet worksite….

wow everything looks great. I like the idea of modifying the Dollar and a Half Cardigan. I totally concur. Love the green, of course!

You’re getting a lot of knitting done and the idea of marking all as read…not a bad one! Sometimes the number overwhelms and it’s good to start fresh.
The scarf…so lacy!
And all from stash? Fantastic!
