I am insane

Last night I ordered the pattern for this



and yarn with which to make it.

Crazy.

I am giving myself permission not to finish it.

And crazy!

Hey, you've knit a shawl, right? Have you done lace? Do you have any real sense of exactly how crazy I might be?

[elphaba-of-oz.livejournal.com]

Um, isn't a dress eating up your craft time right now?

[lindalee.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, some of it.

The dress is actually progressing remarkably well, given that I'm really not spending much time on it. I really never expected it to go so quickly. Yes, there's still lots to do, but it's actually zipping along at an impressive rate.

Yeah, I'm crazy. But it's also true that I'm 2/3 of the way across the country from my world, and I know no one and I have no social life, so what else am I going to do with my time?

Knitting is also portable, and sewing isn't. I usually like to have a knitting project going all the time, so it might as well be this one.

I know, I know. This isn't your style at all. :-)

Wow. That does look amazingly complex. Good luck!

I'm told that the whole middle part is "a breeze" and "just zooms." Let's hope. :-)

Shawl is beautiful. Go for it. You'll be glad you did.

On another note, how's the garden growing?

wow! the yarn is soooo perfect! if you really want it, you should do it! I admire your ambition.

that is quite a beautiful pattern- what is it? a table runner? a scarf?
Whatever it is it will be worth it once it's done :)

It's a shawl/stole, since I'll be getting married in October, with a sleeveless dress.
