Thanks to Jessica, I was tipped off to the ability to include my progress bars from Ravelry here on my sidebar.   I did the plugin thing and much to my surprise, I find I have a pretty darn out of control WIP pile again.   The eagle-eyed out there might notice something very new in the list too.
I started a new project last night.  I know.  The shame.
At SnB the other night, ¬†I realized that this sock/lace knitter was really knitting nothing more than sweaters. ¬†I do have Tina on the needles, but I had to swipe the tips for another project, probably Kauni. ¬†I’m not quite ready to started Wedding Ring Shawl (still need to swatch one more yarn — should do that today) as I already have a few projects that require serious concentration and live as home projects. ¬†I needed a small lace project in a much underutilized yarn, hand spun.
Enter this yarn:
    
¬†It is the cashmere/silk from Foxfire that I got at MASW’07. ¬†I spun it fine on the Vermont Wheel and it has been aging for a while. ¬†I had dog-eared it for lace a while ago and saw it sitting on my desk last night. ¬†I dug out the perfect pattern for it: ¬†Leaf Lace from Evelyn Clark. ¬†I have to admit, I haven’t a clue how much yarn I have other than I started out with 2oz of raw fiber, spun it fine (threadlike in some areas) and um that’s it. ¬†I hope I have enough.¬†
¬†I think I’m done casting on for a while. ¬†I really do need to finish up some of what I’ve got going first. ¬†Another WIP Wipeout anyone?¬†On the transition front, I’m continuously fighting with the wordpress editor to format my stinkin posts. ¬†I likes to remove silly things like paragraph breaks… and honestly, isn’t very html friendly either. ¬†Any suggestions? ¬†Plugins that I should be using instead? ¬† Some tweak that I’ve missed? ¬†I did select the checkbox in the profile to use the wysiwyg editor {snicker}. ¬† ¬†I’m not opposed to doing the messy html bit but this editor is almost worthless as is and definitely has to go.
 Craft on!
