Kate moved his own blog over to WordPress several months ago — so rather than do battle with the spammers on MT, we’ve just moved craftmuffin as well. It’ll take a little while to get everything back in place and spruced up, but so far, so good.

I’m still chugging away on the “Stevie” Rowan Cork sweater for Kate. I had thought that I might finish the front over the weekend, but instead I decided I needed a little break from following the chart. (Lisa knows how I feel, I think!) So, instead I cast on for Klaralund! Yes, I’ve been slowing stashing away balls of Silk Garden #82 in anticipation. The straightforward rectangle pieces in garter and stockinette were just what I needed. I flew through the back piece and I’m a couple of inches into the front already. Pictures coming soon!

I’m finding it interesting how my appreciation is growing for all types of knitting. My theory of the moment is that I can be productive on several projects at once, so long as each one has something different to offer. I can zoom along on Klaralund for a while and feel gratified at the quick progress and smooth, even stitches. And then I can turn my attention to Stevie and marvel at the slowly emerging patterns.

What’s that? You want to remind me that I also have a few other unfinished projects that deserve some of my attention? Well, I’m not that disciplined, after all! And I do like having several things going all at once, even if some of them languish in a half-finished state for months at a time. I guess that makes me one of those “process knitters” — more concerned with doing whatever type of knitting strikes my fancy at the moment, and not terribly concerned with when things get finished.

Thanks to everyone who sent advice and moral support during my comment spam attacks. You guys rock!
