My Ishbel is almost finished!

I spent today finishing my Ishbel shawl. It has been sitting in my WIP tub for a few months untouched and I pulled it out yesterday and realised I didn't have long to go!

I used Lush Yarn's Silk/Merino fingering weight yarn in Ghost. I just need to block it, but that will have to wait about a fortnight until I finish my assignments and I get back from holidays. I used 55g of yarn and still have 90g left. I'm not sure what I'll make with the left over yarn.

As I went to put the left over yarn away, I realised that I dont have a lot of bright coloured or multi coloured yarn. Admittedly I dont like most multicoloured yarn, but I do like semi solid coloured yarn quite a bit. Most of the yarn in my stash is either gray/black/white or shades of those neutral colours or shades of blue or green.

I do then to wear clothes in these colours as these seem to look the best on me, but I'm getting bored of these colours. I want something bright and intense. I think I will need to expand my colour preferences...

I also just thought I'd share the preview for the next Glee episode. I'm not a Britney fan, but Glee (or any other musical) is pretty awesome. Enjoy!

Sometimes things just dont work out the way you want...

So my Lotus Hat didn't quiet work out the way I would have wanted it to - it was too small despite doing a few extra repeats :( I do want to make this again, but I just cant bring myself to start it again at the moment. So, after feeling rather down (and not just because of the hat) and dissatisfied about the current projects on the needles, I broke my agreement not to buy any more yarn or cast on another project until I had finished the projects mentioned in the previous post.

So, I bought some 8ply wool (don't worry, it wasn't expensive) and cast on a new project. I cast on the Dandy Neckerchief.



Progress is very slow, but in approximately 3 weeks, that shall hopefully improve and work will resume at a regular steady pace. Along with my other 3 projects listed before.

Until then, I need to get back to the work that I need to do to get through the said 3 weeks.

Happy crafting :)
