Slow Progress

Smoking Jacket

Progress so far: 3 pieces (out of about 11!) cut out and marked. This could take a while, although I'm hoping to get a little more done this weekend.

The good news is that I am now successfully getting into work earlier, as planned, and have kept it up for nearly three weeks (to the point where I have now sent an email to my team-mates letting them know that my official office hours have changed); I'm extremely pleased.

Knitting

On a separate note, I learned four new knitting stitch abbreviations last night! I'm starting upon another learning curve - that of reading simple knitting patterns - in order to take part in this: http://www.nationalww2museum.org/calendar/knit-your-bit.html.

I already appear to have gained a stitch from somewhere, which would normally bother me immensely, but I've decided that learning to knit cannot be something in which I indulge my inner perfectionist, or else I'll go crazy. So I'm doing a "rough" version of the scarf first. We'll see how that turns out (!).
