Little miracles do happen from time to time. On Tuesday night I finished what I'm calling "chocolate bananas"! And then last night Alyssa finished the quilt top!
Very excited. I almost couldn't sleep last night.
And darnit I can't show you pictures of either.
I was humbled a little when I pulled "chocolate bananas" from the dryer and saw they'd shrunk. They'll still serve, but hmmm...the yarn didn't shrink when I used it last time...at least not this noticeably...I think it must be the warm water I used or the dryer. Either way they'll suffice, but oops!
On my needles today I have a grey hat that I'm making for my hairdresser to give to his brother. I absolutely love working with this yarn and am trying to decide if I could wear it...it would be quite warm and cozy but the alpaca and angora--which make it so very very soft--also have a little bit of shedding tendency and that could bother me. I'm wondering if it would be worth it. And it would be so nice to have a little cardigan to put on in my office when it feels about 20 degrees in here. Thinking thinking (not that I need to buy yarn for any more projects or even think about any more projects, but I can't seem to help myself.)
