Almost an icarus!!!

As much as I may not want to admit it... I seem to have abandoned my blog for Ravelry. Eep! Here is my re-attempt at posting regularly. (Although, I don't think I was terribly good at it in the first place.)

Oh my goodness! I have FINALLY finished the last chart, and I am halfway through the 2nd-last edging row of dear, dear Icarus.

This project has amazed me for the last 18 months, and I can't wait to have it off the needles. At the same time though, I think I'll have some finishing pangs... I've been working on this for so long, that I just don't know what to do without it!

(I'll find something, I'm sure).

Stay tuned for an update sooooon. (Of course, there will have to be blocking, and I have a new 650 sq. foot abode. Wish me luck on that one!)

Blog Boredom?

I think I need to knit something a little more exciting than Icarus, so that I actually have something to blog about. Or just knit faster . . .

I am officially (according to the over-thought spreadsheet of doom) over 80% done on my lovely shawl, so things might get more interesting around here fairly soon. If I can ever figure out the edging. Why don't people chart edgings? Is it REALLY easier to explain it in words?

In other news, I am totally besmitten with Ravelry, and I am spending way too much time queuing new projects. Yeah, that's the last thing I need to do right now.

Off to work on the shawl so I can maybe get a surprise prezzie done sooooon.

Oh, anyone doing any exciting Christmas knitting? I don't know if I'll be able to this year, as I have the surprise prezzie, and I'm MOVING to my FIRST NEW PLACE!!!! AHHHHHH!
