Oh, I forgot to mention….

Flirty Ruffles is done!

It isn’t blocked yet, so it’ll get a lot more airy looking. I actually finished it last week in a marathon of ruffle knitting. I did not actually impale myself on my needles out of boredom, but it was a close thing at times.

It’s a great size now - I’m going to have to be careful to not block it too large, in case I make it too big for Aimee.

I used Zephyr Wool-Silk - making the smaller version (I left out an entire chart), it did use up probaly 1.75 skeins. The ruffle consumes a vast amount of yarn - most of what I used from the second skein was on the ruffle.

I took the above picture at work, because the carpet at work is black and grey. Plus, I’ve been too lazy to take pictures at home. So, in honor of blogging in the workplace, I offer a scary shot of part of my desk. Yes, just part.

Yeah, I’m a slob. Hee.

I’ve now moved on to knitting my Dale of Norway Hunter Orange baby sweater. It’s coming along really well - I’ll try to get a picture of it tonight. It’s knit on size 2 needles, so I feel right at home.

Finally, you can read my rant about Knitpicks over here. I might clean it up a bit and move it over here. Mainly, I don’t intend to buy from Knitpicks in the future.

(I should say something about the terrorist attacks in London today, but nothing I’m thinking in my head is really suitable for publication right now. It’s horrifying, and I hope that everyone is as fine as they can be, given the circumstances.)

    The shawl is gorgeous! It looks amazing even for pre-blocking.

    I think not blogging about London is okay. I don’t know what to say, either, other that what others have already said.
