vestiges

A,
This last winter was pretty cold for Arizona's standards. I believe this was due to the fact that it was an El Nino year, which made it a bit more soggy and cool than normal. National guard was even called out for Flagstaff area because of all the snow (although snow wasn't really an issue where I live).

This abnormally cool season led me to believe that it would be appropriate to make some winter knits, and I started a few projects. I started blogging about them too, but then I never actually posted pictures of the finished products.


The truth is that, save for a couple days a year, these projects are probably inappropriate past late morning--even in the winter months. I think I was being overly optimistic that these projects would get any real use out here. I guess we'll see what happens. It's still fun to create.


Part of me was being rational, and told myself to at least leave off the sleeves. I think this was a good choice.

Hooray for vests!

PS. When it's cold enough to wear (and when I have someone to take pictures for me) I will post a photo of these sweaters in action (aka being worn).

A,
I know that I alarmed you with my latest post, but please do not worry. I am actually motivated at this very moment. So motivated, that after I finish this post, I will be doing work! Real work! But first, I wanted to show you:


I enjoy knitting lace. It is intricate and delicate and repetitious and billowy. Thank you for the yarn.

Alright, that's the end of my break.
