almost an FO

Almost. Hopefully, I'll have enough yarn to finish this thing. I've calculated the amount of yarn needed, but I don't know if I'll make it. I've a got a gauge swatch that I'm prepared to rip, just in case I need a little bit more. So I'm pressently in the midst of anxiety knitting. I bought only one skein. Hand dyed from MDS&W. Very unlikely I'll find another. Hindsight is horrible...

I'm still a bit tired from the weekend. I've been dealing with a sick doggie. Let's just say it's been an somewhat of an explosive weekend. Not much fun. Although finding the half eaten carcasses of several cicadas, saved us from a trip to Pet ER. I forgot there are still some of the bugs that come out every year.

Michele has tagged me for the idiosyncrasy meme. As soon as I narrow down my list, I just may share them with you all. Just promise you'll still come back if I scare you...

Many many thanks to Julie for the beautiful crane origami fold...

It has certainly brightened up my day...and it's inspired me to learn origami...Thank you!

Love the colors of that almost FO, it's turning out beautifully. *whew* I'm glad to see at least one of my little cranes found it's home. I was beginning to wonder if they'd all decided to visit Florida instead. ;)

Your shawl is GORGEOUS! I have to ask, where did you get the pattern? I would LOVE to make a shawl like that and I have 13 skeins of koigu that need to be used up. Please feel free to e-mail me or to leave a comment on my blog. Thanks!

Your shawl is beautiful. Is that a pattern you made up? I have some Brooks Farm that I've been looking to knit up and your shawl looks like the perfect project. Love the subtle color variations!
