Midnight Knitting (again!)

Well, here I am. The clock has struck midnight. And I'm still awake. Still knitting. The insomniac knitter. I don't actually know if I'm knitting because I'm a chronic insomniac, or if I'm an insomniac because I can't seem to stop knitting.

Tonight I'm working on this:



A little something inspired by Gilmore Girls (which I have only recently discovered - how could I have missed all the fun?!?) and Balenciaga ... although in the end, it'll probably look more Gilmore Girls than Balenciaga, but it's all soothing stocking stitch and in cashmere to boot, so it's all good. :)

A few weeks ago I was doing a particular cable pattern for the first time - working exclusively between the hours of 11:00pm and 3:00am each night, a couple of times while watching 300.





Stunning as some of the visuals were... still: BIG MISTAKE. Actually, plenty of big mistakes - the more complicated the cable pattern, the bigger the mistake. And the more engrossing the film, the more mistakes one tends to make, it seems.

At least, as long as that one is me. :)

Those battle scenes sure produced some really 'organic'-looking cables, though, if you're into that sort of thing.
