Well all the knitting for Michael's jumper is over and I am now up to my least favourite part - sewing together the parts. I've finally finished all the embroidery of Spot the Dog for the back and now get to do the same for the front. It's amzing what the difference a few rows of black stitching can make.

Michael's jumper - all knitting done!

Back on the blog...
Yeah, I've been away from the blog for a bit. Not a good time to go into blogging meltdown, but it happens.
So what's new? My Your Rights @ Work hat made the front page of Workers Online the week before the rally which was quite amusing. I didn't see any others at the Melbourne rally although there was one woman with what appeared to be a black beanie with multiple bright orange garter ridges.
The Rainbow Connection hat and scarf set sold at the APHEDA dinner for $85, apparently to the secretary of the AEU (teacher's union).
I finally finished the sleeves on Michael's jumper. It turns out that knitting both sleeves at the time was a good idea as I ran out of blue wool. So each sleeve now has an orange stripe which I can pretend was all part of the orginal pattern as they match up. Now I just have to get the embroidery right and sew it all together.
I've been fighting a bit of ennui as is probably quite obvious. I lost my knitting mojo for a bit so I've been reading on the tram instead. Which isn't a completely bad thing. But hopefully I can kickstart myself again. Life is meant to be for living after all.
