if I sits, I knits (and an FO)

I'm guessing you're familiar with this particular kitty meme. In the vein of 'If it fits, I sits', I've adopted a brand new approach to my knitting: if I sits, I knits. It's basically the idea that there are very few places where you can't knit (see Stephen West's #placeswhereyoucanknit hashtag on Twitter or Instagram for inspiration) and that you can be way more productive if you really use every opportunity to knit. Too early to meet a friend? Get your knits out. Queueing in the post office? Knits out. In the last week I've consistently knitted through my commutes and lunch breaks, knitted in the bank, queueing for a spa and at the theatre. Obviously there are some limits. It's pretty difficult to eat and knit at the same time and I draw the line at knitting on the loo (although I have contemplated bath knitting - can it be done? Maybe if I had some sort of floatation device for my WIP?). 

Either way, I've found this really works. With this mindset, I've made loads of progress on my much belated Crafts from the Cwtch Makealong shawl – I hit the 60% mark this week! Wanna see?

And the even better outcome is that I actually finished something! The Honey Honey hat from this post. Yes, it took ages and there was a definite disaster week when I went wrong and thought all was lost, but that scrummy honeycomb texture makes it all worth it. Plus, found the perfect home for that little ginger alpaca pompom from TOFT. Love it. All the details are on Ravelry here.
