\"\"<\/a>Here are some booties using a pattern that Ceosanna and Tessima picked out. This is the first time I’ve done this much switching colors in a row, and it’s puckering. I’m carrying the strand across the back<\/a> too tightly. And the interesting part is that I can tell what part I was knitting when. It starts getting tighter where I was doing it late at night on the couch, being lazy, watching Pirates of the Caribbean. (Yes, I think Orlando Bloom is sexy in that movie, and yes, I feel like a pervy old woman when I say that.)<\/p>\n

I should say that Ceosanna and Tessima picked these out for someone else. Ceosanna and Tessima are not preggers. That I know of. These are for a mutual DR friend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Next, an insanely long, super-chunky scarf that I knitted from some Blue Sky Bulky<\/a> that I got in Alexandria during the Ceosanna\/Tessima trip. The scarf measures between nine and ten feet long including fringe, and it hangs to my ankles. It took about a skein and a half, and I tried something new. I felted together the ends of the yarn rather than trying to weave them in or (God forbid) knot it, since I knew it would show up in a weave this loose. It worked well! I like to try something new in every project, and it’s always nice when it’s a success.<\/p>\n

I love this yarn. It’s 50% merino wool, 50% alpaca. It’s so thick it’s spongy.<\/a> The color is very rich, the material is lush, and it was a fast knit. I totally want to make more of these.<\/p>\n

In DR news, I hope to get the hubby to show me how to upload docs to http:\/\/www.tvini.org tonight. I want to put the blank wedding worksheets up there, as clients sometimes lose them and get embarrassed to write for another. Don’t be embarrassed, people, I’ve heard it all! Unfortunately, the html editor I was trying out has expired, so I have to go hunting for a new one. BBEdit Lite isn’t available for free anymore. Anybody know a good cheap html editor for the Mac?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
