Does your shower look like this?
The yarn in my shower is not from spinning. I am not setting the twist of my own yarn. Although I wish I were. Nope, I'm resetting the twist of the yarn from frogged projects. That's right, I've been mindlessly frogging things. Or maybe frogging wasn't so mindless since one of the projects was difficult. I apologize for the dark picture, but my bathroom has no natural light sources.
To what projects do the skeins belong? Well, you may recognize the yarn on the left from that sweater I had problems with the underarm seam. The skeins hanging here are only half the yarn. I still have to finish frogging the fronts. Good news is that I found another sweater pattern I like (raglan sleeves) for this yarn.
The yarn on the right is from a purse that I badly need. But, alas the purse was not meant for me. I finished seaming the purse front, back and sides together one night this past week and found the shape to be mightily lacking in fit (don't even ask!), and the fabric was too flimsy really for a purse, so I frogged it. Hmm, I seem to be doing much better about my fear of frogging. What do you think? Two projects in one month. Three if you count my frogging my shawl too. The good news for my purse is that I have a new plan and if all goes well, the bag will be started soon. I'm pretty excited about this new design too.
What of my mysteryshawl? Well, I'm still where I was when I posted about clue 4...3...4. Work is a bit hectic right now, not to mention my getting into design mode and working on the numbers for my bag. Hopefully, I will persevere and finish clue 4 tomorrow of my shawl, but I still need to calculate the additional rows and the math for the final clue.
Wondering what happened to Robin? She's around and very busy. She is doing well in her studies at graduate school and keeping busy working on a fellowship. Their house is finished, so she will also be moving in next weekend. Needless to say, the pace of her life picked up quite a bit this month -- tests, papers, and moving. She did get some spinning done and is working on a commission. See, busy.
Hopefully I'll have more interesting pictures, such as finished projects this week. Happy fibering!
