Upcoming Projects
I decided I hate the crochet piece I've been working on, so I've dumped it. I made the same square three times over, basically, what with all the restarting and so forth, and it never got as fun as the sheep. Maybe it's too complex for me, or maybe I just find all those chains and treble crochets boring. At any rate, it was giving me a headache to work on it or think about it, so I am raveling it and making something else, I guess. Not sure what. Maybe a different afghan. I'll have to look through my book of squares and see what appeals to me.
On the other hand, dropping the afghan frees me up for another project. I've seen a couple of people making shawls lately, of the knitted from the back of the neck type, and I decided that sounded fun. The only challenge was finding a pattern I didn't find too boring, but also something not so challenging that I could not work on it while in a dazed stupour school is in session. I finally found the Flower Petal Shawl at Elann.com, which has a very simple pattern and a fancy, pretty edge.
So last night I ordered some yarn for it (eggplant, #1800) and needles (because the pattern calls for 40" #9 circulars and I don't have that length, though I do have the right size). Strike while the iron is hot, as they say, or at least get started on massive unrelated projects while the homework is light.
