How is it that the days are getting shorter and longer at the same time? The tedious, boring, draining drama of everyday life that is common to most people is running full force around here. I'll spare you the details, but I just needed that bit of venting so that I could better move on to other things.
Anyway, I've been working on this month's goals. My first completion was watching my Spinning Stupendous Singles class. Now I just need to make myself put it into practice. You know how it is when you worry about wasting precious materials on learning something new. Anyway, I think I will start by seeing if I have any more small bumps of fiber to start. Then I should find something so wonderful that I won't want to stop spinning, right? Eh, I'm just tossing around ideas.
I completed the horseshoe lace chart of Bridgewater, so that's another one completed on the goal list. It's time to work the edging setup round, adjusting the beginning of the round and adding a few more stitch markers to mark the corners. After that comes a provisional cast on and then eleventy-gazillion repeats of the edging chart. For now, the big, brown blob sits and waits. Since I am having some computer problems but still want to include a picture in this post, you get to see an old picture of it. Truly, it does not look terribly different. Just imagine that the blob of garter stitch also has bunched up, unblocked lace worked around it.
I've been working on embroidering a handkerchief. This is my first time using q-snaps instead of a hoop. It's too soon to judge, so I just keep stitching. I already have an idea for the next handkerchief, but I need to finish this one first. I also want to try embroidering on kitchen towels, pillowcases, and maybe an apron or two.
That's all the progress I have to report so far, but hey, I still have about half the month left, so there you go.
