…is the charm right?
The project I’ve been hinting at for the last two posts is.. ta da… Wedding Ring Shawl:¬† Take 3
What’s different this time?¬† Well both the color AND the yarn.¬† I’m using White yarn for one.¬† It is the Gossamer Merino from Heirloom Knitting.¬† I got an excellent deal on it through a stash sale on Ravelry.¬† A deal I just couldn’t pass up and now I’m glad.¬† It really is a joy to work with.¬† Finer than the Yarn Place Angel that I’d been using.¬† It also has another advance over the Angel, it isn’t superwash.¬† I’ll be able to spit join.¬† Love me that join.
I spotted my ginger colored fuzzball curled up in my bedroom easy chair while I was working yesterday.¬† Her fur is almost all growed back.¬† She’s still missing a great deal of underfluff along her back.¬† Slowest damn coat growth I’ve ever seen in my life.¬† Silly thing hates when I pet her, but the twins can pet her anytime they please.¬† Cats is weird.
Finally, I think this picture sums up W.O.O.L.’08 perfectly:
The photo is courtesy of the fabulous organizer of the event, Tina.¬† The purple stuff on the left is the Ultraviolet I spun.¬† The brown is some lovely navajo plied yarn of Tina’s and the remainder is JessaLu’s gorgeous work.
Craft on!

I’m starting to wonder if you want to actually finish it…since you’ve started it so many times, maybe you only want to *start* it… ;op
I love that picture of Tina’s.

I hope this yarn really works for ya on the shawl. Maybe it is suppose to be white for it’s name. Maybe kitty doesn’t like you petting her because she knows you are the one who shaves her coat off. LOL So adorable all curled up like that.
