AHHHHHH!

OMG life is sooo busy that I can't believe that I found a few minutes to make this small post.

I tried to get Tony to post for me, but apparently he's busy too -- who knew?

Speaking of Tony, this is what he's working on:

It is the BMP pattern from Knitty.com.

I have finished a big chunk of my first Sockapalooza sock. It's Embossed Leaves in Carol Green (Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock).

As promised, here are some Swallowtail Pics.

Tony models:

The Stats:

Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn A. Clark found in Interweave Knits Fall 2006.

Yarn: Alpaca Cloud in Tidepool
Needles: Knitpicks Options US 4s 24"cable.

No modifications were needed, this is a perfect pattern all by itself.

I'll make another someday even though I don't know what I'm going to do with it.

My next lace project is the Spring Things Shawl.

I'll try to post a little sooner next time.

Nupps Ha!

The second attempt at the nupps on Swallowtail is working out much better than the first. My work area is chaos but I'm almost through with LotV1 so I don't care.

Thought I'd share a few more pics of the Orchids that were previously in the office of terror.

I had to pick a blossom off of the purple one today. It was wilting and it had to go before its negative energy took the rest of the blossoms with it. The one remaining bud has been threatening to open for weeks now. I hope it gets on with it before all the other blossoms fade.

And this guy has been in full bloom for at least two months now with no sign of wilting any time soon. It's so pretty that I hope it stays a long time.

UPDATE: LotV1 completed!!!
