What constitutes productivity?
If you spend an entire weekend watching a two TV shows that you've become hooked to, is that productive? What if you knit the entire time you are watching them? If the latter counts, then I've been insanely productive in spite of my newest obsession. Since last Wednesday, I've spent every waking moment main lining Doctor Who and Torchwood. It's really all the fault of th LSG board on Ravelry. Someone posted the link to THIS VIDEO and it was all over. I've been a big Buffy fan for years, and James Marsters is HOT. Put him in the sexiest fight scene with an even hotter man, and I'm hooked. I've watch all 23 available Torchwood episodes and 18 Doctor Who episodes. In a week.
What does that rant have to do with knitting and productivity? I busted my ass and finished the scarf and hat set (except for weaving in). I'm really happy with it and glad it's over.
I've since started on this cardigan. It's being knit with Knit Picks Palette. If you notice the stripes between the pattern, that is my steek panel. This will be my first real steeked project, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
I'm mainly working on that at work (love the freedom I have on my new schedule). At home, it's back to the damn shawl. In two days, I've completed more than half of the 6th chart repeat. One to go after this, and then I do the outer chart and the border. I'm figuring about another month.
See how much I've progressed since the last pic? What? It looks the same? What do you mean? Oh that's right! IT'S A GIANT BLOB!!!
I've worked this week also on charting out colorwork patterns. One for the fair isle sweater I'm going to spin and knit, the other for my felted project.
So what do you think? Have I been productive despite my TV addiction?
