I think the number of planned knitting projects I have, not to mention in-progress projects where I don't remember my place, is making me reluctant to start knitting again, but I really ought to get some stuff knitted! (Also the fact that I feel reluctant to watch new tv. Somehow my attention span for fiction doesn't seem up to it.)
I completely finished a knitted worsted-weight hoodie with pockets over a year ago and ordered a zipper to sew in, and then we ended up moving from the other side of the house to this side before I sewed it in and it got lost and hasn't turned up since. I think I'm gonna have to order a second zipper if I want to wear it this fall (one year behind schedule).
Also we still don't have half our radiators working. I'm afraid I might have to be the one to call down the list in the phonebook... maybe I could do that if I took a tranquilizer first. Or a couple glasses of wine.
These reflections on seasonal wardrobe brought to you by discovering to my dismay that my dressy pair of shorts (that is, the ones that weren't cutoffs) didn't fit anymore, after not trying them on for probably six years or something, but needing some for work. In last week's heat wave, I needed some to work outside in the sun, but they have to be long enough to have adequate pockets and prevent my thighs from sticking to plastic chairs etc. It took me eight hours of online shopping to successfully order some and my mood was so black afterwards that it took like five hours shopping for fountain pen ink to recover. (Apparently it's more the shopping than the purchasing in the case of fountain pen ink, which is kind of funny! I only ordered one bottle of ink in the end, but I debated the merits of like twelve different colors.)
