Finally! Eris is officially finished and at it's new home!!
After blocking and getting the zipper in professionally (I know, I'm a cheater; what do you want? my sewing machine protested strenuously and would not cooperate!), I'm finally seeing the back of this project. Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled with how it turned out; I'm just glad I don't have to look at it and feel guilty about not having it done. *g*
In the meantime, I've gone back to the Charm Wrap for myself since I'll definitely be needing it come November. I finished the left front panel last weekend and I cast on the right front panel last week. It's coming along. I need to take some progress pics. As a treat to myself for finishing the indexing of my Jane Austen notes, I'm also going to cast on Knitty's Hey, Teach! tonight. I went and returned the unused skeins from Eris and got store credit, so I picked up some Cotton Ease in Almond--a very pretty pale yellow. Gauge swatching will commence momentarily! Hmm, I seem to be on a cardigan kick. I can't help it. If this knits up quickly I may just start on that Yaquina Bay cardigan I've been meaning to get to for months now.
Woohoo! I'm so excited! I get back to my writing tomorrow! .... Indulge me, I'm sure I'll be tearing my hair out in a week, lol.
Woolly and MDK!
