WIP it good
1. Forbes Forest is out of hibernation. It took me a few minutes to figure out where I was on the charts, but then I was back in action. I was a little ticked to pull the work out of the bag in which it had been neatly stored to find that it was pilling. Why, I cannot tell you. Stupid soft yarn. Stupid soft, pliant, sproingy delicious yarn. My god, knitting with this after slogging away on that Wool of the Andes is like slicing off a wedge of La Tur after eating Kraft Singles. And this pattern rocks. It's a pain in the ass to work simultaneously off of two charts of different lengths, but it's so beeeautiful. I love the popcorn and the bobbles.
2. The orangey Acero sock is great. I turned the heel and it fits just fine.
3. The second Lemongrass Jaywalker sock is great. Another inch and I'll be to the heel.
4. I'm done withe the first three stripes of the Wedding Blanket of Doom. Now I need the next color of yarn.
5. The Purple Paisley Shawl (Also of Doom) has been making "finish me" noises. MUST IGNORE.
