actual knitting content

i can't believe it's already february. the whole month of january has mysteriously vanished - i have no idea of where i was or what i was doing. i've been working a LOT, dyeing up a storm in the new studio (which has been fantastic - it's sooooo great to have such an amazing space to work in!) and i'm waiting on the delivery of two new electric hobs - serious, catering-quality stuff, so i should be able to dye even more after i get them. alas, this means my days of sitting at home knitting all day are over, so any actual knitting content has been hard to come by.

katje (in artesano alpaca aran, colourway "sunset") just needs sleeves and buttons, and then she'll be done - maybe next week? the sleeves should be the easy part, so i'm hoping to finish up fairly quickly.

and there's some sock knitting going on as well - the "brainless" socks (designed by yarnissima for the wollmeise ravelry group, in wollmeise sockenwolle, sock club colourway "saami") . but that's about all i've had time for lately! i've got a queue of projects a mile long that i want to get started on, but i just don't have the time - guess that's what happens when you start working for a living, eh? and i've got a couple of things coming up in the next few months that will cut down on my knitting time even more....
