I have leapt into the wide world of the Mystery Shawl KAL's. I started the Mystery Shawl #5 (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mysteryshawlgroup/) the Monday after the first clue was posted.
All I can say is that this is so much fun! I am enjoying this so much. I can't wait to see what it will look like when it's all done. I think it's the mystery part of this that I like the best.
Now, if only there were a LYS that actually carried lace weight yarn in large enough quantities to make these larger shawls.
I also have joined the Halloween Mystery Shawl (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/halloweenmysteryshawl/) and the Secret of the Stole (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/secretofthestole/) KALs.
OK, can you say "obsessed"? I am also working on a sock, and a few other items.
I am in the Holiday knitting mode right now. Since Saturday, I have knit a hat (folliage from the latest Knitty.com), finished and felted a bum cover, turned a heel, and done 1 1/2 clues to the first Mystery shawl.
I did a short-row heel on the socks, and I got this huge hole. It's right where you start to knit in the round again. I will go back and stitch it closed once I have the sock done.
On a non-knitting venue, my dd will be turning 8 the second week of Oct. I have no clue what I am going to do for her. I just don't know if I should try to plan a party for her, or send her away for Halloween camp overnight, or what. I'm leaning toward sending her to camp. She loved it last year.
I am on the downhill slide for the year. We start back to school, have 2 birthday's in Oct, 2 birthdays in Nov., Thanksgiving, Halloween, then Christmas and new year's. Add to that the fall football, and you have absolutely no time for anything!
this also leaves you with NO MONEY!
Well, I'm off work tomorrow, and plan to have a nice day at the library maybe, or maybe at Barnes & Noble. Who knows. That's tomorrow, and I still have the rest of today to get through.
