pixiecrinkleThe list of accomplishments:
1. Completed the fuzzy feet slippers for mom, which will be delivered tomorrow (pictures soon)
2. about 3 false starts on the cotton yarn I've been trying to turn into a sweater for 2 years now. That makes a total of 8 false starts on that sweater. I have given up "designing" and will now try to find a pattern specifically for that yarn (Rowan All-Season Cotton).
3. Made myself a cell phone pocket with the leftover yarn from mom's slippers (Lamb's Pride Bulky). The pattern was far too generic and does not fit my phone well, so this will probably get unraveled, but now I have an idea of how to start engineering these. I used the pattern in the Hollywood Knits book.
4. Started on the afghan of doom for my cousin and his fiancee. It's Wool Ease Chunky, which is a delightful looking and feeling yarn, but not so great smelling. I got about 20 rows done on the first motif (this is a sampler afghan) and couldn't figure out why I kept smelling nail polish remover. I was looking all over for an open bottle, then I finally determined that the smell was coming from the yarn. This puppy's getting washed before it gets wrapped up as a wedding gift. I hope it's just the one color that smells. Otherwise this is not going to be a fun project. There's 2 balls of that color, but 22 balls total.
Bedtime. Hurrah.
