I couldn't just stop at one Wollmeise Lace woven shawl, could I?

This time I only have about 80% of a skein, so I had to narrow the width down a bit. It's still pretty darn wide. All I have to do to finish it up is twist the fringe and make it pretty.

That crazy cowl? 430 stitches a row in laceweight? Yeah, I finished it in barely over a month.

 Who knew stockinette could be so addicting?

I am nuts.

No seriously. I'm nuts. And it's all my friend Gretchen's fault. DSC01865 If you're wondering what that is, it's 430 stitchen joined in a round (hopefully not twisted) of Wollmeise lace. Yes. I'm apparently making a cowl that will reach to my knees out of over half a skein (that's over 1,000 yards) of laceweight yarn. Once again - all Gretchen's fault.

Ombre Monkey Socks

Monkey socks are the best socks. And they're even better when they change color all by themselves. DSC01857 Pattern: Monkey by Cookie A. Yarn: Bounless Sock Moki by Play at Life Fiber Arts in Acid Trail

I Have Lost My Mojo

I have lost my crafting mojo. My loom sits warped, but unwoven. My quilt top is still in strips. And my knitting is going just about nowhere.

I finally finished the second toe on my Whirly Socks this morning, though, so maybe things are looking up? I can hope.
