Did the fiddly finish work on the Lopi sweater, picked up and finished the edging on the leftovers shawl, and have a good start on weaving the ends in. Might not finish it completely tonight, but I'm pleased with my progress.
Am 90 rows into the flower basket shawl. According to the pattern, I should be starting the edging in 5 rows. But my yarn and gauge are smaller than the pattern, so my shawl is only 19" deep by 38" wide, and I want a shawl big enough to wrap up in. Onward I go, at least until the yarn runs out.
By finished making forms to stitch some of his leather projects around, and made a stitching horse for some of the fiddly bits, and a couple of other mysterious-looking tools that he's quite pleased with.
And someone just did microwave popcorn, and I've got to smell it. I think it's time they paid the popcorn tax :)
