One Crazy Fiber Lady

Ma clapotis, elle est finis! Et ici pour les knitters sans Ravelry.  Now that I’ve used just about all the french that I remember from high school..

In the “about time” category is this silly clapotis that took me forever and a day to knit.  The first one only took a week.  Can’t wait to see how long a third one would take!  In this puppy’s defense, I did misplace the yarn a third of the way through it.  On the up side, the weather is so damn crappy that I got to wear it this morning.  YUM.  That Lion & Lamb is to die for!  Yum Yum.

I found a nice big holder to use to take a picture this morning.  Yup, that would be my car, rather the mommy mobile, sitting in the parking lot waiting for the train.  Yeah I know.  I’m odd.

I want to thank everyone for their well wishes last week for the little miss.  Thursday did prove to be the healthy day.  Her fever stayed away and she was able to get back to school on Friday.  Was even healthy enough for a playdate on Sunday.  Boy that was fun.  Having two 4.5 year olds in a single house is nowhere near enough.  You need to have a third come over and bring her 2 year old brother with her!  Oh yes and make sure it rains too

I’ve been knitting away on Uzume and hit the short rows on the flap heel this morning on the ferry. I should be well onto the foot tonight.  I’m definitely making the Sockdown May deadline on this pair.  I’m all ready to wear them too.  I got some seriously nifty shoes last week.  Yup, clear Sketchers.  In my wee size even!  Not the bestest of pictures to show off their transparent coolness, but you can see that they have nice ventiliation to keep the socked feet cool.  Got a serious breeze as I stepped off the ferry this morning!   Loves them already. 

Really, that’s about it for today.  I’ll have some activity shortly.  I ordered supplies for two new crafts that have intrigued me in the past and yes, in character, they do involve yarn or threadlike substances.  I’ve also joined another along for the summer:  the Season of Lace.  Heck I’d already proclaimed this summer the summer of lace..and socks.  I’m itching to start a new lace project.  Shut up, I know I have a few already in the works.  I might swap Unst square shawl for the Unst stole.. or one of a gillion other lace pieces that are in my queue.  I’m trying to decide between a big piece (Unst) or a little one (like Leaf Lace or Shetland Triangle).   Decisions, decisions, decisions.  Whatever I do, I need to use some of the copious amounts of stash yarn.

Craft on!
