Fits and starts

I've finally given up on the idea of creating a lacy sweaterthing out of yarn from a slightly felted sweater. Its new destiny lies in some Broad Street Mittens for Nate in exchange for some prints of his photos. ART BARTER. The remainder of the yarn will probably become some knee socks for me! Woo fuzzy wool. I worked on an entrelac scarflette thing last weekend, but I haven't done much with it lately. I'm kind of stymied by logistics; I need some kind of scarf pin. I live in constant fear of the looming MOTH THREAT. Allen and I have embarked on an agressive SWAT ON SIGHT campaign, and we can only hope that they have yet to infiltrate my stash. I'm currently in full support of the switching-between-sock-projects method of sock production. Since I haven't had to work on the Gentleman's Lozenge Pattern sock for awhile, it feels like cheating since I'm already half done. In conclusion, here's Allen modelling my presents for the Dumbrella Secret Santa. Party Hard, Dreamfather. Party hard.

Progress report

Last weekend, I decided to try my hand at entrelac. It's looking pretty nice, though I only have enough yarn to make a short scarf. I'll be lining it, as Noro Silk Garden Lite is not the softest of yarns and I'd like to nestle this baby against my dewy, fair skin. My planned aran-weight sweater is on hold until I can get some size 9 needles, and I'm planning to maybe start something similar to Eunny Jang's Arrowhead Pullover with recycled yarn this week. I finally started on the second Gentleman's Sock, but it's pretty slow going. Oof.
