On a roll

[treeskin]

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 :)

I haven't heard mention of something else that means finishing...

My shawl came out too small. Ran out of yarn. Phooey.

Boy consoled me by pointing out how trendy mini-capes are right now. But still.... Looks good on the baby!

Phooey on you.

I don't need the Tigger afghan done until Thanksgiving. They're calling for a high of 48 tomorrow, so I needed the sweater this week.

*smiles angelicly*

See? All logical.

And shouldn't you be doing your studio homework?

Major bummer. Guess that means you have to Buy More Yarn. :)

Seriously, have you tried blocking the heck out of it? I've had sopme luck with taking open patterns and pinning them out really tight on the bed. You ought to be able to get at least a couple more inches of length (so it'd keep up with Baby, if nothing else).
