Daily Fiber Therapy my arse!
Isn't it annoying that it's more like weekly fiber therapy? I know, I know. I wish I had things to report, as well. Maybe I should spend more time putting my knitting rants, etc. here, instead of in my Livejournal. Goodness knows I have enough of those.
Madli is my main gal lately. I'm currently midway through the 17th repeat of the middle, meaning I have 13.5 repeats to go. I've finished one ball of my Domy Heather. Now I just have to find the other skein and we'll be rockin'.
The middle, spread out so you can see the lace pattern a little better.
And the border, pinned out. The color in this one is spot-on.
I'm not happy with my bobbles for the first six inches or so of the shawl. These are the ones I did by purling through all 7 stitches. I'll have to go back and do some tweaking. None of the bobbles are really popping right now, so I'll have to manhandle them a bit.
Secret Pal stuff
I've been wracking my brains trying to figure out what to get my secret pal; I'm surprised it's so difficult for me. I've bought a few things and need to ship at least one of them out. I hope she's pleased. I want to be one of those secret pals whose presents make the recipient pee their pants with glee. Or at least, want to start on the project right away.
I'm eagerly awaiting my first package, which my secret pal says is on its way. YAY! It's better than Christmas!
Project ponderance
I have absolutely no idea what my next project will be. I'm not feeling a pull towards anything in particular. Since I'm in such a nice work-on-one-thing-til-it's-done groove, maybe I'll start another sweater. Finishing a sweater is very satisfying.
It's almost unnerving to me how difficult it is for me to buy yarn these days. It's like pulling teeth! Maybe I'm not inspired... or maybe I'm just holding out for the really good stuff since I know it's more satisfying to complete one big expensive project than several little projects.
