<\/a>Okay, I may have overextended myself juuuust a tad. Leaving aside for a moment the July and August Dragonrealms weddings – stop getting married, people! – I have way too many uncompleted knitting projects.<\/p>\n

Here’s the barely started reknit of the bag<\/a> for my niece. Since I have to do something different or I’ll never motivate myself to finish, I’m going to add a ring at the base, a closure, and contrasting color for the pocket.<\/p>\n

Here’s the bag<\/a> I’m doing for my mom’s birthday. Which was last week. Ahem. The problem here is that the yarn, Noro Daria<\/a>, is really a few strands of cotton with some shiny rayon wrapped tightly around it. I’m afraid to knit too fast for fear it’ll come undone. I know it probably won’t, but I’m paranoid.<\/p>\n

Here’s the shawl.<\/a> I’m thinking the recipient may be able to use it when it’s done – in the winter of 2005.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Here are the booties.<\/a> That’s one bootie done but not seamed up yet, and the start of another bootie. The heart looks better than it looks in that pic. There’s plenty of yarn left to do a matching hat. I’m thinking wide stripes, but with the dark color hearts on a white field somewhere near the middle. Because of course I need to start another project.<\/p>\n

I think what threw me off course was having a wicked cold this past week. I still feel exhausted and stuffed up. And of course, I need to take care of other stuff (Welcome, DRTvini, you have 48235793275 new e-mails) and be with my daughter, who gets understandably cranky when mommy sleeps the day away.<\/p>\n

Oh, well. I’m off to rest on the couch again. We got Buffy season six DVDs, and I read that if you freeze-frame it during the beginning of “Wrecked” you can see James Marster’s… er… sock. Maybe that’ll keep me awake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
