Project Of A Different Kind

I stopped knitting a few days back. I even stored away my yarn and put away my WIPs.

It is not that I no longer wished to knit, infact I was (and am) quite keen to finish my muir shawl which is stuck at half-done.

But we are in the middle of getting our house repainted and everything is an utter chaos. Also, it is really hard work with all the emptying of closets, moving stuff around etc. And now that the interior portion of the house is done, cleaning part is killing off my time and energy. My domestic help has done the bunk for the whole time, but that is another depressing story.

But the things are lightening up now and we can actually imagine ourselves settling back into are routine in a few days, inshaAllah. For Now, I entertain myself my looking at my fresh and clean craft closet (You can all geuss where the post paint cleaning started, LOL).

Ravelympics 2010: Event Sweaterboard Cross

Ravelympics 2010 kicked off, coincident with the opening ceremonies of Vancouver Winter Games 2010. My event this time around is Sweaterboard Cross, in which I will attempt to knit Amelia within these 17 days.
The event started 7:00 a.m Pakistan Standard Time today and I cast on for the cardigan a few hours later. I am nearly finished with the garter border at the bottom of the the cardigan. The yarn I am using is Araucania Nature Wool Solids.

Stay tuned for progress updates during the next two weeks as I hope to get some intense knitting done on this project, inshaAllah.
