Since I got an iPhone, and started buying stuff from iTunes from it, I confuse the hell out of iTunes, synching to the iPod classic and stuff. As a result, whilst playing the Purchased Playlist because I bought a load of new stuff during the week, the iPod got far enough down the list to find an audio book called Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I haven’t quite gotten to grips with working audio books on the iPod, typically I only listen to them on long haul flights because for some reason, it can make the time go faster than actually reading myself or actually listening to music.
Because of the order in which things arrived at me from the iPod – I don’t know why – I got to listen to all of the second half – allegedly – of the unabridged version of Good Omens. While I was doing the cardigan.
I have been living with the cardigan since before Christmas. It’s this cardigan – I keep linking to it because I am slowly making progress about it. Anyway, yesterday, after a fiasco called “not reading the pattern properly” I wound up contacting the designer via Ravelry for guidance on “what does this mean.” With the benefit of the response and a good night’s sleep plus one lot of laundry and some food, I now don’t understand why I didn’t understand how to finish off the body of the cardigan but at any rate, by 9pm the main body of the cardigan was finished last night and some of one of the sleeves was done.
The cardigan is still – after another afternoon of crocheting, pulling a part, counting shells and wondering how it is I can’t count to 4 on a Sunday afternoon when it’s no problem for me ot count to 345, for example – not finished. But it’s almost there; in fact if i really, really was motivated, I could finish it tonight. But I’d be dead from grape coloured cotton. All that remains is the left sleeve and having spent the guts of 3 hours on it this afternoon, I’ve had enough for now. I will go back to it – again – tomorrow and hopefully finish it sometime Tuesday or Wednesday. Then I will order more yarn in a different colour and do another one.
In the meantime I am contemplating going back to a long laid aside skirt, a necklace or possibly the pineapple square doily that’s hiding beside my bed at the moment. In the meantime, I am contemplating ordering this. Which probably means I need more sleep.
