I am currently knitting the second black vest for son #2's girlfriend for work. I have a long list in my head about what I need to do next. I am involved in the Dishcloth Shuffle which Rox is running, and she so gracioulsy sent from USA the Sugar N Creme cotton for the dishcloths, so I could see the thickness of the yarn, it certainly is alot thicker than 4ply yarn in Australia. After seeing how thick the 4ply is, I would need an 8ply and a 4ply knitted together to get the same thickness, it is about a 10 to 12ply.
I have to knit 2 pairs of gloves and 2 matching scarfs for a lady in my local area, she wants them for gifts for her daughter in England for Christmas, so they will probably be on the needles next, along with some cotton tops for myself for summer, a chevron blanket for son #2 as part of his Christmas present, so much to do and time is going by way to quick.
I have to get a bit like Tianne and Donni and have more than one thing going at the same time, that way I can choose what to knit and when, but at the moment I am a person who likes to get one thing finished before starting another thing.
My back is getting better, very slowly I might add, I have just had all of last week off work as I couldn't even straighten up to walk, the pain was not pretty, neither was for that matter me trying to stand up and walk.
Anyway while at SNB this afternoon, I realised I should take my own advice and just "Get Over It", that is the only way to stop being so stressed, and whatever happens, happens. Good advice, lets see if it works for me.

Oh your Sunrise is great!! it looks really lovely and I'm glad it fits ( and is green!!) Sore backs are very boogelly!! I have just had a nasty muscle thingy in my back. I decreed a fortnight of 'not whining' and it did seem to make me a bit more positive!!! hope you are feeling better!!! I am just ignoring the thickness of the cottong and knitting with 2 strands of 4 ply!!!!! I am a knitting daredevil!!!!!
Well I admit I ate almost all the desert but there was far too much for me after a good full main meal. Im so full I can hardly moove.
And well i didnt take my knitting into dinner but probably shoudl have to think who done it
Your sunrise looks wonderful! I've been tempted more than once to cast on for that. I hope your back feels better soon. It's never fun not being able to move well.
Your jacket looks fantastic, and the yarn certainly looks more than perfect for the pattern. Sorry 'bout your back, I really hope it feels better soon.
The jacket looks lovely. I've used the Jo Sharp Silk Road Tweed and it is lovely and lightweight.
I used it for a waistcoat for my mother who has serious osteoporosis in her spine and she loves it because its warm but not weighty.
Take care of your back!
Cheers gillian
That looks fantastic! Love the buttons.
Wow I really like your cardi.
I didnt realise this weekend was snb. Damm I missed it, though I dont think people would appreciated me sneezing and coughing on them.
Soo disappointed. Nice work on the cardi.
No way - it is I that should be more like you and stick to one project and knit it beautifully. I didn't even know your back was sore so you hid that well....
Your Sunrise looks great. I've finally started to sew mine up but I think my sleeves will be too long. I'm hoping to debut it at The Knitted Picnic this weekend so I'd better get back to it.
Love your sunrise jacket - I am currently knitting it too (also in green!) I've used Cleckheaton Country Silk after seeing that wool mentioned on the SCJ knitalong.
