I got my Mom signed up for Yahoo so she could legitimately join the mystery stole knit-along. I felt weird about sending her the pattern, since it's anti-copyright...and I like to support the designers. So I got her on there.
I still don't have the yarn for it...and probably won't for the foreseeable future, but I started playing around with my embroidery floss to check swatching.
I figured out two things: using embroidery floss would cost about forty bucks in addition to the terrifying number of ends I'd have to weave in at the end and I desperately need point protectors so I don't have to use my 14 inch needles for the beginning of the swatch, but I'll also need to get a long circular needle so that I can accomodate the crazy number of stitches that will be present as the project progresses.
Right now, I'm working on a Dishcloth KAL from my favorite knitted dishcloth group It's orange Sugar 'n Cream.
I also have a sock on needles. I'm little past the cuff, but not much, and that's being made in Tofutsies in this weird rainbow colorway. It's kinda nice to knit with, but I think the only reason it doesn't bore me is because it's made with soy silk and chitin, mixed in with wool...
I guess that's it right now...I don't really have anything else going right now. I wish I had a camera to share pictures. Oh well.
