I Made It!
I actually got this out on a Wednesday!
Of course, I always have a WIP, it just isn’t always knitting.
Of late I’ve been working on (pix below):
- Shattered, the sequel to Grounded
- Christmas presents
- late birthday presents (the shame…)
- Zentagled mugs
- Age of Innocence
- Bleak House
- the (mercifully done) Bar Mitzvah
- learning to sing this and this with Thing 2
- educational curriculum writing
- everything else.
I did also start this mobius cowl by request of Thing 2.
I’ve combined the lovely and simple Honey Cowl pattern with a Möbius cast-on.
It’s really actually very nice and soft and lovely.
The boy is thrilled with the progress.
I’m using Blue Sky Alpaca Metalico silk/baby alpaca blend in the colorway Platinum and I LOVE IT.
Not splitty but very pretty.
All good.

Fell in instant love with the yarn you’re using (*mind immediately begins devising nefarious schemes to obtain yarn in such a way that DH never knows about it…*;-))
The sequel! The sequel!! Right. No pressure. Just… can’t wait for the sequel! I actually was in Tucson (Green Valley, but close enough) at my parents when I bought Grounded to read on the plane on the way home. Opened it to read the first page…. aaaand four in the morning and finished *that*. Yes, it was that un-put-down-able:-) Reading the first chapter was funny– “…driving down Oracle Road…” — hey, wait a minute, I was just on Oracle Road yesterday… does this book take place in…? Yup, Tucson! LOVED the descriptions of the desert:-)) Left a five-star review on Amazon:-)))
p.s.– Gorgeous Zentangle mug! What kind of pen do you use for that, and do you put a sealant over it when you’re done? (Yup– into the Zentangling, too. All your fault;-)))
YAY! I’m so glad you liked the book! (And now I run over to Amazon… get all teary-eyed… run back here…) Thank you!
And Zentangle Mugs! The best 411 I’ve found is here: http://www.diyopolis.com/category/diy-home/
The secret:
Cheap mug=so-so glaze + regular oven= insta-sealant!
