Bad Blogger

The past few weeks have been crazy as far as school and work go. The knitting is coming along but the blogging, not so much. My Austermann Pharao is in its third incarnation, as the Madeira Cascade lace pattern from Walker. I like it and I'm sticking to it. It's going to be a RECTANGLE. That's right folks. (Folks? Who am I talking to? No one reads this blog, unless my parents or boyfriend have somehow googled their way here, in which case, Hi, you have spawned or are dating a geek.)















I'm a chronic lap-photographer because I'm too lazy to stand up, put my knitting somewhere nice, and take a picture from further away. This yarn is kind of hard to photograph because it's so shiny, being ♥gassed cotton♥ and all. Anyway, RECTANGLE!

My Stitch n Bitch ladies had a sew-up party for a baby blanket/100000lb wool afghan we secretly made for a member who's due in June. Pending review of and explicit permission to post the rest of the photos (most of them feature people eating or awkwardly mid-sentence), here's one great one of me hard at work mattressing:














I'm the one in the green. Probably best the internets can't see my seaming face (I seam intensely).

I am also almost done with Mesilla, though I neglected to make sure that I picked up the same number of stitched along both sides of the neckline, and one is 3sts longer than the other. I haven't gotten around to trying it on to see if it makes a difference. I fear I will run out of my single skein of Watermelon Shine Worsted, so I'm stalling because running out of yarn is so painful. Sooooo painful.

Oh man, I just let half an hour go by without studying for my exam on the PROJECT OF MODERNITY. Back to work.
