God, two weeks gone and no post... things have been busy! First up in news is - Peter and I have set a wedding date! Yay!!! Sunday, May 20, 2007. Much to do between now and then, but it will be small and simple so hopefully low-stress and reasonably low-cost. That's the big news.
Now the knit-news:
1) Remika's scarf is coming along GORGEOUS. It's Freshisle Fibers softspun in cochineal pink, carried along with a strand of Vespa (colourway #1644), and it's super-warm-sparkly-girly fun. I'm hoping to finish it this week to send to her at school because it's getting darn cold out! Which brings me to...
2) My scarf. Striped denim and natural Mission Falls wool , 2" wide stripes in 2x2 ribbing, and I think it's about 4" wide. I'm into the second ball of each colour and I'm loving it - but oh, all those ends to weave in later! I'll think about it later. ;) Again, needs to be finished ASAP because it matches the toque and it's getting windy and damp in the mornings and evenings here.
3) The blanket - stalled. BUT - we're getting our furnace installed this week (YAY!) so it's a less pressing issue.
4) Fuzzy Feet - decided against. Will probably make socks of the dye party yarn, when the sock mood strikes again.
5) Uh... what else? Peter's sweater. Still to be started. I need to write out the pattern and make some adjustments and then re-swatch (Actually, I should swatch first, shouldn't I?). I am going to start it soon, honest!
6) N8an and Dan's blanket - well, I've got the yarn...
7) Sandy's shawl - in progress but slowly. Not for lack of love or interest, just really don't like the green. But she does. So it must be knit. I'll have to watch hockey while I knit it. (oh darn!)
And that's about it. OH! Yumi's shawl. That's in progress as my travel-with-to-work and such knitting. It's growing steadily but slowly. Yumi, when's your birthday again? (eep!)
Lots of other "want-to" projects in the bins but I think this is plenty for now... I have a term paper to research and write and other things to do (like, plan the wedding!), so may need to knit a little less. Dagnabit.
However, Ottawa SnB is Wednesday night - YAY! - so I get my quality estrogen time in. Love the SnB gals, they put things in such wonderful perspective for me. Now, back to the books and my scarf. Study an hour, knit half an hour. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it!
