Finishing is good for the soul

Last week s*cked. Like major lemons. Like, I wasn't sure I could make it to Saturday when I would be off. So what did I do, some furious knitting to keep myself from killing someone--student or me, the jury was out.

I finally got to the next interesting bit on my Bluebell cardigan at the crazy gauge; this is a picture right before I started the lace band. Once that is done, it's going back into hybernation until the next chapter of my life. I feel ready to pull Hitofude out again!

I took a potholder loom home this weekend and found weaving squares with dishcloth cotton theraputic. Here are a few of my results:

Not a huge fan of the single crochet to put them together; maybe if I used two strands of yarn? I'm going to try again and just whip stitch the edges to see if I like that more.

I also sewed together all the squares I have finished of my twill weaving project--getting close!

On Sunday I finished my Tintern Abbey socks--love them! They are now blocked and just need ends woven in before being put in the 'home' box.

I also finished my first project with my own handspun; a lovely squishy cowl in all the fall colors I adore and miss so much right now.

So, since I finished to projects, today I cast on a new pair of socks and a blanket, 'cause that's what you do! Here's hoping this is a better week, and that the holiday this week won't throw my kids for too much of a loop.

Parting shot: Frankinbooties because I need me some Halloween whimsey about now.
