This is my sister's car. It's a Bonneville - which means it was a heavy duty car with a massive trunk. She is still at my parents' house recuperating.
The brightest spots since the beginning of the year have been the arrival of packages - how lovely to come home to!
The first is from Melissa who was my partner last year in the Swap for all Seasons. Somehow the yarn was left out of her last package so she sent this yummy skein of madelinetosh pashmina. It's lovely to pet. I can't wait to make it up into something!
The second is my first package from my Secret Pal 16 partner. Some lovely Knit Picks lace and a gorgeous shawl pin.
With yarn like this, how can anyone have the mid-winter blahs?
In the meantime, I've gotten some knitting done while sitting in the waiting room at various medical clinics.
Another finished object, which I'm keeping for myself. Just another version of Lauren's Whimple, a Mountain Colors pattern.
You can see the "lace" pattern here. It's knitted at both ends with the middle section just stockinette stitch.
And I've bitten the bullet and signed up for a sock class. Perhaps this will result in that I actually finish a pair. I'm using some Socks That Rock mediumweight in a wild color. Wait til you see 'em.
