283 Projects

One of the reasons I haven't been posting much lately, despite the fact that I have completed more than a few projects, is that I have started a new job and now find myself working 7 days a week! Whew!

But, I did finish my Peabody sweater just in time to wear it to my new office! Hooray! Here are some pics:

During Sandy, we lost power for 5 days along with the rest of Lower Manhattan. We were very fortunate that our water did not stop running during the storm and that we are close enough to Midtown that we were able to get out and get charged everyday. Eli, Harley and I are very thankful.

I went to work only a little bit during the aftermath of the storm, and spent most of my time working on my Peabody. The first night of the blackout I made the mistake of trying to do the large lace panel by candlelight. Big Mistake. The next day I had to spend some time finding and correcting my mistakes. The sleeves, however, made great candlelight knitting so I ended up knitting the body for as long as I could and then when the sun got too low in the sky I would switch to the sleeves.
