Sorry Beth

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.}

I came to your blog with my finger in position to immediately close the window and what should appear to my happy eyes but new news from the Carla!
Yay again!

So, I need your phone number.

I did something yesterday.

It has to do with a journey wheel.
