Avoidance post

OK, I haven't posted in a while because I'm so disappointed in the slippers. Sissy princess finally twisted my arm into telling the tale. Here is what they looked like before felting.

I don't have a picture of what they looked like afterwards. I didn't want to take a picture of something so bass ackwards.

I can tell you they're wrong, all wrong. And she said they smelled funky while she was felting them to boot. Yuck. While hand felting is a possibility, I think the most likely scenario is the circular file. :(

On a far happier note (and the likely reason I was able to admit failure on the slippers) I have finished the henley... and it is wonderful. Sissy Princess tried to burst my bubble by pointing out that it looks like it has already started pilling but I couldn't hear her very well over the soft yumminess of this sweater. I'll have a picture later when I get home to the camera.

Dithering about

I am supposed to be working but instead I'm trying to decide which project I should start on next. The blue shrug is done, just awaiting a portrait so I can show you (maybe I can get Princess to take one tonight, hmmmm?) and I'm taking a break from the Brooks Farm Yarn henley. So what to do, what to do. The socks don't count, they're what I carry around "in case". You know, in case I'm stuck in a traffic jam, or a conference call, or I forget the needles for the project I'm really working on, or I've just frogged a huge section of the current project and I'm all pissy about it. It's amazing how quickly they are going, I must have a lot of "in case" stuff in my life.
