Mystery Stole 3 update!

Surprise surprise, I am actually working on my Mystery Stole 3. I should be working on a million other projects, but I decided to work on MS3 exclusively. I think that part of my determination is that I feel I should be much more proficient at lace than I am. In order to make myself that way, I decided that I could only carry around my MS3 stole materials from now on. (Making life much more complicated for me! ) I have to have devoted knitting time to get this done. However, I have been at least mildly successful.
I just completed the first chart, and rather than tempt the knitting fates, I decided to wait until tomorrow to start chart 2.

So I think I am going to go for the blog titles that have nothing to do with status! I am lacking pictures :( BUt i have finished stuff! - Brian's stripey socks are done! - Baby Gabe's hoodie is in zipper process - Baby Charlie's hoodie is awaiting washing, blocking and zippering I am working on a hand towel for the new apartment. Oh, what I didn't mention it yet? I am moving out soon! I am very excited. My sister, boyroomie, and girlroomie are all moving in together in the complex that my boyfriend living in. Its a super nice townhouse, and the landlords seem like a really good company. I believe they are part of Natapow management. We are going to move in, hopefully, in August. Anyway, given that this will be a shared apartment, and for me, home, I wanted to give the apartment some things that would be for everyone, like hand towels for the downstairs bathroom. (and maybe the upstairs too.) I think I am also going to make some curtains for my room, out of yarn,...

Bead crochet is all the rage in my head. It's been a couple of months, actually. During the Christmas break from work, I had a dear friend over to play with beads - she has a small stash, and felt like she wasn't getting enough out of them. I was thrilled to have a reason to pull mine out. She wanted to learn bead crochet, but i started her on the peyote stitch, because my bead collection had been spread out, and it took me a bit of time to find all the bead crochet stuff. We never got that far, she fell in love with peyote; but I remembered how i like to bead crochet, and off i went. I'll share pictures of those bracelets, and my process and materials as I have time. In the mean time, I want to share something else... beading of course. Over the course of years beading, I have come to rely on the bead mats that are commercially available. The first time I found them, I was at my local bead shop - I have several available, but one favorite stands head and shoulders...

no pictures today either...

But there is progress on the socks. The green ones. I am turning the heel on #1 as soon as I am done typing. I am stuck at school tonight till 10, again, so the hope I had for photos is little to known. I have to make an interactive PDF based on a brochure that I just finished designing today. Its great. (In all sarcasm) I am trying to find a freind to eat dinner with me, but it looks like I am on my own till 6. I have Metals class tonight. The plan is to kick some wax a** and take names. Actually, I am carving wax rings tonight so that we can cast them, next week I think. I hope to get done early so I can bow out. I would be working on the interactive pdf right now, but the dunder head that I am, I left the power cord at home. It's really really useful there. Soooo yea. Grrrrr. I love Billy Corgan. And I love The Machina of the Gods. Some people think its the worst album the Smashing Pumpkins released, but I think it is wonderful. Oh and Porcupine Tree. I love them too. I need to...
