Yarnification

I’ve been putting all my spare time today — and some time that wasn’t, strictly speaking, “spare” — into the shawl, and it’s coming along. (For some reason it looks squiggly along the top in both of these pictures — I’m not sure what’s up with that since it doesn’t really look like that when I lay it out and look at it.)

This was how it looked yesterday:

And this is just now, after 23 out of 47 rows. I couldn’t fit it all in the picture this time since I couldn’t get far enough above it. I’m at work right now (I’ve technically been off since five-ish, but I’m here for a while longer while I wait for Don to come get me) and since the piece of foamboard I used to take the picture yesterday got used today, I had to use a counter that was pretty high up.

The throw rug is coming along, too, but it’s at home right now so no pictures. Out of eight strips, I’ve got two pairs sewn together, so five more seams to make and infinitely many ends to work in since it didn’t seem reasonable to work them in as I went along — I’m thinking they’ll hide a lot better in the seams.
