Shrug
I got bored with my current projects (It’s a curse!), and knit up a shrug in about two days.
It was fun. Ribbed Lace Bolero, is it’s name. I messed up a couple times, increasing the lace pattern by one on a sleeve, and the mattress seam. And there’s a loose end I didn’t weave in well enough. But it’s cute, and I’ll wear it to class some day when the weather cools off enough to wear wool (Stash busting exercise).
I just bought the yarn to make my niece a Reid in pink with purple edging. I’m looking for cheap but durable yarn to make my nephews matching Sherwood sweaters. Jimmy’s is going to be in light blue to match his gorgeous eyes, and while Tazzy also has gorgeous eyes, I’m going to make it up in his preferred shade of fire engine red.
I just bought two school texts for quite over a hundred dollars, so I”m going to ask my mom if I can use some of the money she scrounged from our various change bowls to go towards the effort. Since I’m jobless and a lazy bum, y’know. But she scrounged over 300 bucks! She’s giving most of it away to a charity aiding a South African Seminary, but the rest is going to who knows what. HOpefully nephew’s sweaters? Haha, it’s okay if she doesn’t. Though paying for your own yarn is a drag. Darn expensive fibers! I’ll probably buy the boys’ yarn in washable, yet nice fibers. Since they’re two and five (nearly six!) respectively.
I love knitting and crocheting for my niece and nephews. I made Tazzy and Willow scarves, but nothing for Jimmy yet. He won’t wear hats, so a sweater will have to do.
If I’m lucky, I can take the Reid to the Ren Faire with me. If not, I’ll just take Laura’s socks. That is, if I’m working the craft booth. I might get lucky and teach people how to shoot things with arrows again. Though I like the craft booth because at least then the big manly men won’t think I don’t know anything because I’m a small female. Fuh.
