This is the scarf pattern that came with that kit (the kit whose yarn I’m using to make a felted bag, that is). Is it just me, or is this the most bizarre scarf you’ve ever laid eyes on? (clickable)
The hat is pretty cool, but that scarf just weirds me right out what with the way it loops through itself.
A very belated thank you to Lori! A little while back I won her blog contest, and the prize was a Knitpicks gift certificate. For a while now I’d been periodically visiting the Knitpicks site to drool over their yarn, so this makes me a very happy camper. Thank you, Lori!
Now to settle on some yarn…
I haven’t been posting in this blog much lately (ya think?) I have been writing a bit in my journal (leave a comment if you want the link, but be aware that there’s a better than even chance that you’ll be offended by something or other over there—my foul language, my job, my opinions, what have you—and it is likely not work-friendly if you’re accessing the internet from work, ya slacker. Just so you know. I deliberately don’t link to there from here) but I haven’t been posting all that much over there, either.
I just haven’t had a lot of time at the computer, and I’ve had a lot of things going on in my head.
Current project status (someday I will update those status bars in the sidebar, really):
The corset: Very nearly finished! I need to attach the final strip of boning. I’ve done the bits that go around the top and bottom, but I am very, very frightened of what I need to do next, which is singe the ends of the boning. That is freaking me right the hell out.
The finished bags: Still need lined. I am a slacker with the sewing machine.
The bag in progress: There can never be enough unlined purses! I’ve started a new one with the green and beige wool I got from that marked-down kit. I’m not using a pattern, which is an entirely new concept for me. I usually feel lost without a pattern. I’m just working in rounds and winging it based on what I’ve done with other bags I’ve made. I really need to make a swatch of this wool and try to felt it before I get to the point of no return (the first color change), though.
I probably have other unfinished projects lurking around. Like those socks. You have no idea how fed up I am with those socks.
That’s it for now, I guess. I am now going to look at patterns and salivate over the Knitpicks catalog.
