On epic projects…
I had this crazy idea a few weeks ago. That since I’d finished an epic sweater project last semester, I could finish an epic sweater project this semester. Because my unpaid intership, job, classes and job search weren’t enough.
Anyway, over Thanksgiving break, I bought the yarn and then on the eve of the new year, I cast on for the epic project. The sweater in question? Venezia.
Certainly a much easier project than the one I knit last semester right? Haha. I kid.
I haven’t worked on it for like a month… but I did about 8 rounds last night and I think I can commit to doing a little bit each day. Want to see the progress?
Isn’t sooooo pretty that you want to eat it up? I know. Me too. Last semester, I spoke of the sweater as a hot affair. Venezia doesn’t lend itself to such wanton adjectives.
No. Venezia is a state of mind. It’s my escape. My daily vacation… away from my frustrating students and …. everything. It’s the land far far away where it’s just me, some wool and a pattern that requires me to look at the chart every 8 stitches or so. Grrr.

It’s so beautiful! I know it’ll take awhile, but that’s good from our perspective since we’ll get to see it a lot

There’s something to be said for a project that removes you and your brain entirely from the world around you.

Sigh. That’s so pretty. If I hadn’t seen it in person, I’d swear you photoshopped it into existence or something.
