So, I don't know how many of my readers have heard me whining about this, but I'm getting damned sick of socks. This pair is taking me forever because I keep stopping! Fortunately, I have turned the heel of Lacy Trellis Sock #2, and am working the decreases for the instep. Hooray! Progress! Maybe now I can feel justified in doing something else for a bit. I've bought a skein of the right color of Cascade 220 to finish my Brea Bag. I think I'm going to frog the gusset, even though it's mostly knit already, because it looks horribly shapeless. I'll start over. I have a gorgeous fabric for the lining for the bag: a black cotton with a print of autumn leaves all over it.
Before I get to that, though, I should finalize plans for the shawl for M's mother. I already have a lovely yarn for the Future Mother-In-Law Shawl (or FMILS): the blue and purple variegated boucle that I got at the MITSnB Yankee Swap. I'm thinking, however, that maybe a little more subdued shade might be better for her. I want something in the light blue color family, for sure, since it'll bring out J's eyes nicely. I really need to decide on a pattern, though. Print o' the Wave is lovely, but I'm not sure I have the patience for it right now. Maybe the Voyager Lace Stole from Elann? We'll see.
I also really, really, really, really need to combine my love of knitting with my extreme fascination with Doctor Who and make a Dalek. Or two. EXTERMINATE!
