well, I finished Nakiska the other day, only to find out it’s too small for me, and my bind off edge is way too tight. so I’ve been un-binding it slowly, and then I’ll finish it and send it off to my sister - maybe it’ll fit one of my nieces! at which point I’ll measure it and add a few repeats in an attempt to get it to fit my head. (yes, I’ve learned I should swatch, but really, at that size, it’d probably take me just as long to make a swatch as it would to make the darn thing. for larger projects, I will definitley be swatching)
last night, on a bit of an impulse, I decided to detour a bit on my way home from dance class and stop in at the Three Kittens - luckily they were still open for about an hour. my gawd, the store is huge - I think I got lost a couple of times! well maybe it seems huge, I dunno. the yarn shelving is placed at various angles, etc, so there’s a few spots that dead-end. it just seems huge! and I found another sparkly mohair yarn that I’m contemplating. I think it’s called Paris something-or-other. and they had a sample sweater knitted up that felt really nice - if I read the tag right it was made with Gedifra? I may have to pursue that a bit and see if it’ll work for Mariah.
after procrastinating and missing out on the Knittyboard Secret Pals, I decided today to join SP4
