...but only because I'm too busy doing things worth updating about! Or at least, that's what I'm telling you ;-) No really though, I've been busy with good stuff. I knit myself a tank top out of yarn I've recycled from sweaters, but as you can see here it's a bit too small. I lengthened the straps, but it's still gonna be a while before I'll feel comfortable wearing it :-P BOOBS!
I finally finished the wedding shawl commission, and even got a sweet deal on some real freshwater pearls to add to it:
This thing is freakin' HUUUUGE, I can't wait until she gets it!
And of course, I've been doing a LOT of spinning.
In other news... my soul sister, despite her husband's vasectomy, is pregnant. And she's decided to keep it, despite previously not wanting a kid. She's taken it as a sign from the gods, and after the initial shock and panic wore off, I'm getting excited for her. Might be the only baby I'll ever get excited about, because I know she's going to be a damn fine mom. Not only that, but I'll have a chance to turn the kid into a knitter! (we suspect it'll be a girl, though it's way too early to tell- but even if it isn't, I'll try my luck anyway! Hey, I've got to leave my yarn stash to SOMEONE when I die, right?) Also I know she'll spare the gory details- no ultrasound pictures or placenta recipes on facebook from her! I'm going to knit and crochet a storm for this kid, from stuffed animals to clothes to booties to blankets...!
I'm working on tank top number two from recycled yarn currently, though. Currently as in, "stop typing and get back to work." Yeeeahhhh, gotta get that done. Bye!
