Yup, I’m not even trying to finish the shearling sweater before I fly east for Maryland on Thursday night. Not gonna do it…There’s too much to get done and I don’t want to rush it and do a half assed job finishing up this sweater. As compensation for an actual FO, I’ve delicately positioned the pieces together in a feng shui type of arrangement for an arty portrait. Doesn’t it look like it’s going to be cute? I think so. Of course, it was about 80 degrees today, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to wear it. Well, as problems go, it’s not too horrible.
I’ve become intrigued with mohair in recent days. I know, I’m the founder of the "I Hate Mohair" fundamentalist sect, but this Madil Kid Seta that I koolaid dyed for my super skinny color block scarf has turned my head by it’s incredible softness. I surfed across some more of this stuff on sale and bought a few skeins in dusty pink to make this little Rowan number from Rowan 36. It’s kind of retro-70’s looking and will be very fun in pink. I plan on finishing the coordinating skinny scarf over the long Maryland weekend since it’s the perfect mindless take-along project. Maybe I’ll find some of those lucite clear plastic platforms that I remember from my childhood and I’ll be one rockin’ 70s momma. Because you know, one of Claudia and my Maryland rituals is the DSW shopping in Columbia. It’s not a Sheep and Wool until we shop for shoes! Now go over to her site and donate to her MS ride…mach schnell!
