Long time no me.
I haven't much to report. Sorry. I did get Madli done - did I mention that? Thursday morning I spent about an hour grafting the border to the middle. It was a piece of cake when accompanied by Theresa's grafting article. No pictures, because I keep forgetting to arrange something. It's difficult to photograph in my apartment, particularly when it's such a dark object. But, I love it, and it's helping to keep me slightly warm at work.
Yesterday Scarf Style came in the mail for me. Looking at it for the umpteenth time, I'm now sad, because everything wants you to use very, very expensive yarn. The least expensive seems to be the one I really want to knit (the rose trellis one), but, still $45-ish for a scarf is a little extravagant, especially when I just shelled out $80 for yarn for a sweater for the boyfriend (Classic Elite 03 Tweed from Elann). AND I just bought a bunch of yarn for me.
I guess it's time to clear out the stash and sell some again. It's not getting knit up; it might as well find a new home.
I solved my Charlotte II problem, I think. Instead of getting more of the last color (I emailed Threadbear, with no response...grr), I dug into my pile of Charlotte I leftovers and found a green that works well with my topmost green color. So, I'll use that as an extra and hope that by the time I get to the last color, it doesn't look too silly. I suppose the way the colors blend, having not as much of my beautiful 128 at the bottom won't put a pox on the entire project.
Charlotte II hasn't been started yet, though, and I don't know when it will be. I'm still plugging away on my Curry Cable Cardigan, even though I don't really want to. I promise myself that when I finish this sleeve, I can move onto something else for a little while. That was after I tried putting it down and doing something else (a feather-and-fan scarf out of my other Charlotte I leftovers) and having the something else not work out in the least. It was a sign.
The boyfriend and I have signed up for Netflix. Feel free to shout out movie suggestions. Maybe it's the weather, but all I wanna do lately is watch movies and knit.
