Apparently, I cannot even manage one post a month. However, since it seems that spring has finally come, I promise to come out of my cave a little more often. It's been a very long winter and lately a cloud has come over me in the form of a jackass employee. I'll say no more, but send good vibes my way - I have a feeling I'll need them in the next couple of weeks.
Am I the last person to post pictures of the amazing March Year of Lace kit? It came while I was gone on a business trip and was piled in with the rest of the mail. I was sorting through everything and saw a small white envelope and thought, "Now what can that be?" I think I actually squealed when I realized what it was. I handed it to hub and said, "Hand this to me and say 'Merry Christmas' in a big happy voice." He obliged. I think Amy and Sandra were channeling me when they chose the color.
I've been intimidated by the hank of yarn (it's teeny, tiny silk) for the last couple of weeks. I signed into Ravelry this morning and saw that someone had already finished hers! Plus it was her very first lace project!! I had to get it out and wind it up. I'm happy to report very little dye crocking and only two knots in the skein. I can live with both.
I'm searching around for a needle and I'll be swatching this afternoon while we watch cycling on TV. {As an aside, the Cameron Shawl is currently in time out. It seems that every time I think of placing a life line and then think "in a couple of rows" I screw it up. I don't have the heart to rip out 17 rows right now, so I pull it out and look at it every couple of days and then put it away again.}
