I’m currently working on one for my mother (who, though she’s aware of this blog, I’m 99% sure she doesn’t read it regularly. Also, unless she’s very thick in the skull, which she isn’t, she already knows I’m making this for her). It’s about a third done.  Both these shawls, as well as the one I made for Mom for my sister’s wedding are from Knitted Lace of Estonia. I should be earning reward points for how often I check that book out from the library. Or anti-rewards points for never actually buying it.

Those sparkles are beads, and each ones stands as a testament that I love my mother enough to do very, very tedious things for her.

Still at risk of being shoved under the bed to be coincidentally forgotten about, are shrugs for the bridesmaids. This piece of fabric is attempt 2 at making them modest for the ceremony, and if this doesn’t work, it might be time for plan B.

Pretend this is a shrug being worn by one of my stunning bridesmaids.

Last thing isn’t knitting at all, but instead an attempt at “crafting”. I suck at “crafts”. I cannot turn anything into a wreath. These frames will become chalkboards for signs. In theory. Otherwise, I have a whole bunch of purple and green frames if anyone needs them.

There will (hopefully) be a post coming soon where I air my failings to world. Watch for it, and laugh at my expense.
