I can't believe it, two days ago I was complaining of the cold, and today it's up above eighty...
Decided to take some pictures of the stash and to finally upload everything to ravelry, in an effort to keep myself more organized, though I fear tis a futile effort.
Yesterday I went to take a picture of my finished Colonnade shawl, pre-blocking, and when I went to lift it up a moth flew out of it. I saw him a few days ago, in the bathroom, but I had assumed he was just staying for the night and would find somewhere else to go. Well, I suppose he did find another place - and I don't blame him, the shawl is extraordinarily comfortable - but it shocked me just the same when he came flying up at my face. I used a piece of card and a jar to get him back outside, but couldn't resist taking a picture of his sweet little face beforehand.
In taking out everything to take pictures of it, I've found several abandoned projects. Some were frogged, but a few will have to be ressurected. I'm just so bad at finishing, the knitting I'm fine with, but the weaving in of ends? Such a bother. I really should get on that though.
Another thing I finished recently, but that also needs to be blocked, is the blue Annis. That little ball - that's all the yarn I had left after binding off. That last row was rather terrifying, I didn't know if I'd have enough to make it. Same with the Colonnade, actually - nearly ran out of yarn on that one as well, although with that one my intention was to use up as much of the skein as possible, so I suppose it was self-inflicted.
Still need to weave in the ends on both of them though...
I suppose that - with finishing updating ravelry - will be the object of next week.
I've two weeks until volleyball starts back up, and a month until school... it seems almost surreal, I've so much time and at the same time so little. A lot to do, too, even besides the fibre-crafty-related objects of business. Loads of Spanish, some summer reading homework, and of course I need to go through my warderobe and dispose of everything worn out and outgrown and replace it with bright shiny new (or, at the least, new-to-me) things. I need new school shoes, too, and to go buy all my textbooks. August is when I switch out of both camp mode and lazy mode, and get back into my schedule of going to bed early and then waking at the crack of dawn. I find often I'm much more productive that way. Yay, being a morning person! No, I love the way the morning is so fresh and new, and unspoiled, and quiet. It's somehow exhilirating, being either the first person awake or the last person still up, to know that all around you your world is sleeping.
I'm looking forward to the rest of August.
