So much fiber, so little time

Blocking woes

On Sunday afternoon I washed and pinned out a small shawl. Now, in the winter, the only cat-free flat surface is in the basement on top of the chest freezer. OK, fine, it only took me about 15 minutes to pin the little bugger out. On the other hand, it's not dry yet. Sigh.

Biting the bullet

I've been putting it off, but I guess I can't any longer: today is the day to frog the shawl edging. At least I have some DVDs to watch ...

In the meantime, I'm baking some chicken right now and bread later.

Why, yes, I am still alive

Things have been a little crazy around here. I'm working three part-time jobs and spending another large chunk of time on some volunteer work. Hence the blog silence.

Some fiberish things continue. I set out to finish the silk shawl that I put on hold over the summer, but once I worked the edging all the way around the first side and then some, I realized I would run out of yarn. So I redesigned the edging to be narrower, but was and am too disheartened to frog it. (There's a lifeline in place, but still ...) In the meantime, I've knitted another item to submit to the next One Skein Wonder book. All it needs is blocking and a few more words added to the pattern.
