or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?

So, I tend to have two projects on the go at any given time: a “thinking” project, that I save for home, and a mindless project for school. Right now, my thinking project is my Shetland Lace Shawl, which is on hold for a week or so while I focus on a mindless project that should be very familiar to a lot of people.

This is actually my first for-reals commissioned work – a scarf in Gryffindor house colours. (For the record, Recipient: the real scarf is slightly less yellow than it looks in these photos; I took them at night.) It’s knit in a tube, so the entire project is mindless stockinette, and it’s actually turning out to be the perfect project to knit during lectures, because I barely have to think about anything while I work at it.

    I pretty much work the same way but right now my mindless project is a sweater for Greg (Smokin’) and I’m suspiciously eyeing my thinking project as it sits in the corner – the placket/yolk shaping and hood of Green Gables.

    Do you think the dust bunnies in the corner can finish this up for me?
