With all the fun of knitting tiny clothes, I haven’t been doing any knitting on Kingscot for a few days. Yes, Fiona twigged what it was first, but then she’s a knitting genius, so I’m not surprised.

The problem is, and I can’t believe I’m saying it, but I’m finding it just a tiny bit boring. It’s knitted flat and there is *a lot* of plain stocking stitch to get through before the cabled edging. (I’ve left the bobbles off my version because I wasn’t happy with the way they were coming out.) It’s a beautiful pattern, but I know that once the fronts are done, I’ll have two sleeves full of stocking stitch to knit and I’m just not feeling motivated to continue. I’m beginning to think that I need more of a challenge with a new technique or lots of fiddly stitches.

So I don’t know. I’ll carry on with the baby knitting for now, which is quick so it’s over before there’s time to get tired of a pattern. I need to look at my queue, perhaps, and see if there’s anything there I could knit instead that will give me the thrills I need. Or maybe I need to dig out the Mystery Shawl and get another lace kick.
