My unbeaded version of Romi’s Celaeno is done! It’s been pretty much done for awhile, but I just didn’t have time to finish the last of the knitting and block this. But now that I’m back home I got on that. I broke out the Thomas the Tank Engine blocking mat and went for it. I even remembered to block points on this scarf (I forgot on the last scarf – Maia) and I think it’s a winner. Romi’s patterns are just lacy enough for my taste and very wearable, plus they’re good travel projects. This is from her 7 Small Shawls ebook, so next up is Elektra. I guess I’ll be forced to yarn shop to find an appropriate yarn for Elektra…
What else is happening at casa de Sil? I’m celebrating Christmas way early this year since I have to work from the 18th through the 31st with no time off for good behavior. I’ve got to fit all my “must dos” into the next week and a half. It can be done. I started my “must” list with making SpindleRose’s caramels, these delicious candies are only made once a year. This years batch came out super yummy because I finally figured out my candy thermometer is a bit slow. This batch is chewy and rich. Perfect! Now I’m off to the gym to work off one or two of the pieces I had to taste test. Had to!
