...with the knitting part, at least, and by the end of the first month.
My first big de-stashing project of the year was the entrelac 'something', which turned into a shawl. I used up most of 12 balls of the Tesoro bought on sale at JoAnn's.
And now they are gone! (Mostly. I have partials balls of two colors left.)
And I know entrelac in theory and practice!
And I have a wunnerful, woolish shawl with which to wrap around me while sitting in my chair in front of the fire at night.
Just as soon as 40 gazillion ends are woven in...a good way to while away super bowl time, I do believe...there will be a photo.
The MLCB is about 30% complete, and will mark the second big de-stashing effort. I am stoked with accomplishment. I must remember that I have other projects calling my name, also.
Oh, grand-mere...bebe quilts need your attention....oh yoohoo... Grandmere...Great Aunt Viva aka Dearest Sister is whupping your accomplishment up one side and down the other!
I was able to knit a bit on the MLCB while we were traveling about the countryside this weekend. Down to Boulder we did go to pick up my new bobbins for Betsy the Flying Lendrum. And Maggie, while writing up my ticket, also wrote in my Start Spinning book. She told me to spin the yarn of my dreams! Yes, I have been ordered by Maggie to find quviut fiber for spinning, and cashmere, and maybe some paco vicuna, too. I am pretty sure that is what she meant.
I am off to weave ends...or knit garter stitch...or cut quilt pieces...

Welcome...
...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.

I am anxious to see your woolish wonder! I still have not figured out what entrelac is. I looked at the ravelry link, but I can't picture what your project looks like. You could post a WIP photo....
Congrats on a FO! Can't wait to see a photo. The only entrelac I have done is the Market Squares Bag and it was felted, so lots of ends "disappeared" and I didn't have to be so neat. Luckily you are very fastidious with your weaving. Did I miss something? What is the MLCB?? You have lots to keep you busy.
Ooh, I want to learn entrelac too. I am eagerly awaiting your photos.
Still on vacation in Mexico. Due back tomorrow. Can you believe they aired the Super Bowl on a big screen TV in one of the restaurants here. How strange we felt sitting here in Cancun, Mexico and watching Channel 9 from Denver!!
Yeay! I'm glad you finished your intrelac project! I haven't tried it yet...intrelac always looks so complicated to me. I imagine that once you sit down with it and actually dig into it, it comes clear. Maybe after the lace shawl.
